Expertise

Catriona has represented clients who have been exposed to asbestos through their work in a wide range of industries including carpentry, construction, engineering, dock workers, and railway workers. Catriona has also acted for clients who have worked in lower risk professions where the source of exposure is often less obvious such as receptionists, cleaners, and teachers, or where the client has been exposed through secondary exposure i.e., through contact with the asbestos contaminated work clothes of their family members.

To ensure her mesothelioma clients can access the medical treatment they need, Catriona has secured settlements that include provision for the costs of private medical treatment such as immunotherapy and pushes for advance payments from Defendants to ensure urgent treatment is not delayed.

Qualifications

Catriona studied chemistry at the University of Strathclyde before embarking on a nine year career as an expert witness in forensic toxicology. She subsequently completed her legal training and qualified as a solicitor in September 2017.

Membership

Catriona is accredited as a Senior Litigator, and as an occupational disease specialist and asbestos disease specialist, by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers.
