Before joining Stone Group Lawyers, Zach served as an Advocate (Barrister) at the Cape Bar in South Africa. He acted for a diverse clientele, including leading financial institutions, corporate entities, and government bodies. His extensive experience encompasses high-stakes cases involving cross-border debt recovery, shareholder disputes, and the winding-up of companies.

Zach has been involved in significant matters such as the Steinhoff saga—South Africa’s largest corporate scandal—where he represented an offshore fund in a €993 million ($1.6 billion) claim. He also acted for a Belgian military contractor in an $80 million claim against the Republic of Guinea and its Central Bank, and obtained a $10.5 million judgment for a client against the Vice President of Equatorial Guinea for wrongful imprisonment and torture.

In Australia, Zach continues to leverage his deep understanding of complex litigation to assist clients in commercial disputes, insolvency matters, and property litigation.
