Catriona is a senior associate in the firm’s Dispute Resolution team based in Edinburgh, with over 20 years’ experience of dispute resolution and avoidance. In addition to advising clients in relation to general commercial and contractual disputes, her practice focusses on product liability claims, cyber breach incidents, and class actions.
Catriona regularly advises clients across a range of industry sectors, with a particular focus on life sciences and healthcare clients, and universities. Seeking the best outcome for her clients in each case, Catriona has proof (trial) and appeal experience, as well as being an advocate of mediation.
In the sphere of product liability, Catriona has advised a number of global medical device manufacturers faced with multiple Scottish claims, often collaborating with legal advisers in other jurisdictions to ensure a consistent approach on an international scale.
Catriona was also a member of the CMS’ Cyber Breach Response Team for several years, providing immediate case management and legal support to organisations who had suffered a cyber breach incident. The insights she acquired in that role enhance her ability to advise clients looking to bring or defend claims for losses arising from cyber incidents.
Catriona’s varied experience also provides her with a unique insight into the rise and risks of class actions, particularly in Scotland, where the developing area of ‘group proceedings’ have added a further layer of risk for corporate clients, particularly those already exposed to product liability or data breach claims.
