Practice Areas
Heather is an experienced solicitor specialising in all aspects of insolvency and restructuring. She also holds a non-appointment-taking insolvency licence.
She works with insolvency practitioners, directors, individuals, lenders, landlords, trade creditors, and other stakeholders, and has experience of a broad range of corporate and personal insolvency procedures, and rescue and restructuring strategies. She also works with companies and shareholders on solvent liquidations and tax efficient exit-planning.
Heather loves building strong relationships with clients; working collaboratively with them to understand what it is important to them, both commercially and personally, and helping them achieve their objectives.
Delivering presentations and training to the insolvency profession is something she does frequently, (for example at R3 and SESCA conferences, and in-house to insolvency practitioner clients and their teams).
In her spare time she can usually be found enjoying a dip in the sea, on her allotment, or cooking for friends.
