Heather is a specialist medical law practitioner, practicing in personal injury, clinical negligence, and coroners’ inquests.

She also practices in public law, particularly in matters regarding prisons and the secure estate.

Heather is currently instructed as junior counsel on behalf of the Scottish infected and affected core participants in the Infected Blood Inquiry, which is frequently referred to as the UK’s largest ever public inquiry. She continues to accept instructions in other matters.

Prior to joining Chambers, Heather worked for two recognised insurance law firms in London, where  she was instructed in almost every conceivable type of claim that might be expected in a defendant insurance practice. Although the focus of her practice is now medical, her broad common-law experience means she continues to receive instructions in matters such as construction claims and contractual disputes.
