About
Ian Aldridge
Founder & Principal Lawyer
After 12 years practicing as a litigation lawyer for small, medium and large firms here in Australia and the UK, Ian returned to Australia disillusioned with the way Law was being practiced at all levels, especially for small business.
While mixing with a bunch of entrepreneurs and small business owners, he found out very quickly that the advice they were receiving was either wrong or too expensive, but mainly both! The feedback he got was that people would rather go to a dentist than see a Lawyer.
Progressive Legal was born (2014). He decided to change the way legal services are provided in Australia, by building a legal product called Legal Shield.

Zoe is an experienced, 5+ year litigator who has been following the New Law trend since relocating to Sydney from Adelaide in 2017.
The foundation of her practice has been within commercial and business law, where she has for the most part of her career advised sole traders and SMEs from business set up, hiring employees, drafting T&C’s, through to disputes and everything in between.
Her interest lies in advising and helping businesses achieve their goals.
