History

"I can't go away with you, Harvey."
"Why not?"
"My brother's got cancer. He's... He's not gonna make it."
―Zoe Lawford and Harvey Specter[src]

Zoe Lawford attended Harvard Law School and began working for Pearson Hardman, developing a friendly rapport and romantic interest with Harvey Specter. By 2007, she had been relocated to working in escrow and tax law. However, she decided to quit being an attorney when she discovered that Harvey had chosen to oust Daniel Hardman and become junior partner rather than grieve the death of his father.[1]

Five years later, she reunites with Harvey, playing pool with him. She is brought on as a jury consultant to help Harvey protect himself from the upcoming memo fraud trial, although she is dismissed after Hardman exacts a settlement from Travis Tanner.[2]

Following Hardman's dismissal, Harvey calls Zoe to celebrate his victory with her, wanting to resume a relationship with her. As Zoe had her niece Olivia over, the trio spend a night in, with Zoe and Harvey kissing. However, when Harvey comes to Zoe's house for a second date, Zoe reveals that her brother is dying of cancer and that she would leaving the state to raise her niece.[3]

Zoe is mentioned in "Blood in the Water", where Harvey lashes out at Mike Ross, claiming that "people don't leave me." Harvey is then spoken to by Donna Paulsen, who informs him that venting at Mike would not change the situation.[4]

The last mention comes from "War", where Donna claims that Harvey let Zoe go and did not fight enough for her. He responded that she left him, and he did not want to replace Olivia's dad.[5]
