Zoe Kalakos

With a background in Anthropology and Religious Studies from McMaster University and a law degree from the University of Windsor, she blends analytical precision with a deep understanding of human motivation. This approach is what resonates in her work with clients ranging from small businesses to enterprise-level organizations across industries such as hospitality and renewable energy.

Her style is rooted in curiosity and conviction. She’s known for asking “why not?” when faced with convention, and for seeing legal drafting not just as a technical task, but as a creative process. She considers both the letter of the law and the lived realities of her clients.

“Contracts are like puzzles,” she says. “But the pieces aren’t just legal – they’re practical, cultural, and strategic.”

Zoe is a proud member of the Hamilton Law Association and had served on its New Lawyers Subcommittee in past years. Originally from Toronto, she now calls Hamilton home. Outside the office, she’s a lifelong traditional Greek dancer who has performed at the Toronto Centre for the Arts and traveled extensively through Greece to connect with her heritage. She also enjoys crochet, video games, and staying active in the Greek community.

Her tenacity, attention to detail, and ability to connect deeply with others make her a trusted advisor and advocate. Inspired by the strong women in her life, especially her mother and grandmother, Zoe sees herself as a changemaker, committed to justice, and innovation in the legal profession.
