Zak Zing Janet Im

Since qualifying in January 2026, I am now a Corporate and Charities Solicitor at Lester Aldridge, based in their Southampton office. My practice is incredibly diverse; I support everything from animal charities and faith-based organisations to amateur sports clubs (like golf and sailing) with their governance, regulatory navigation, incorporation and mergers.

Many people are surprised by how much charity law overlaps with corporate work. The crossover has been a huge asset, allowing me to bring a sharp commercial lens to the third sector.

Fun fact✨ - I am a career changer! I used to work in London and Brighton, and was an animator and marketing designer for a good part of 5 years.  The pandemic gave me the push to try something new, and that's how I ended up in law!
