Zoe Meredith

I am a member of the Financial Services team, which is able to give independent financial advice on all aspects of investment, pensions, insurance, inheritance tax planning and mortgages. I specialise in General Insurance. I joined Birkett Long in 1994, initially on a Youth Training Scheme, becoming a full time member of the team in 1995. I hold the Certificate of Regulated General Insurance.

It is very unusual for a firm of solicitors to have an ‘in house’ financial services team and therefore provides Birkett Long's clients with the advantage of obtaining legal advice and independent financial advice ‘under one roof’.

The financial services team works closely with other teams within the firm, for example Residential Conveyancing by organising buildings and contents insurance, personal tax and probate team providing clients with inheritance tax planning and Family team providing advice to clients during a divorce on pension sharing orders and maintenance payments protection.
