Jane Zohrab

I am an experienced family lawyer with experience in both New Zealand and Australia. I was co-founder of a family law practice in Melbourne, Australia. Since returning to New Zealand in 2020, I have set up a family law practice in New Zealand with a collaborative law approach.

Along with my formal law training I have undertaken further education to work as a Collaborative Family Law Practitioner. At my first meeting with you, I will explore with you whether collaborative law is a process that would be beneficial for you. A collaborative law process for your separation allows families to make decisions together. Agreements reached reflect your shared objectives and desired outcomes. The transparent process minimises conflict and results in a more amicable, dignified separation.

I am qualified to practice on my own account. To ensure a ‘wrap-around’ client service, I have chosen to work with other senior lawyers at the firm of Base Law. This unique law firm is made up of senior private client lawyers (all qualified to practise as sole practitioners).

Together we share expertise, resources and infrastructure under the Base Law umbrella. This way I am able to take a holistic approach to your family law issue while drawing on the expertise of other Base Lawyers in other complementary areas such as wills, trusts, estates and conveyancing.
