Who We Are

Zahedi Legal is a boutique legal consultancy founded by Sara Zahedi, a highly experienced construction and projects lawyer with over 15 years of post-qualification experience.

We specialise in advising on complex construction, infrastructure, energy, and resources projects — delivering strategic, commercially focused legal solutions across the full project lifecycle.

Our experience spans senior in-house roles at leading global organisations including BHP, Fortescue Metals Group, Woodside Energy, Eni, and Gold Fields. This background gives us a unique perspective: we understand not only the legal framework, but how projects are actually delivered, managed, and challenged in real-world environments.

We are not a traditional law firm. We operate as a strategic partner to our clients — combining top-tier legal expertise with practical, solutions-driven advice that supports project success.
