Board Services, Consulting, and Teaching
Some of the most important business questions sit beyond the boundaries of legal advice. I work with organisations, boards and leaders where specialist insight and broader commercial perspective can help shape what comes next.
These services are separate from my legal practice.
BOARD SERVICES
Experience at the table.
I have held leadership, board and advisory roles across legal practice, technology, insurance and other organisations.
As an adviser or board member, I bring together legal, regulatory, insurance and commercial perspectives to support thoughtful decision-making, effective governance and long-term strategy.
I am particularly interested in organisations where technology, innovation, regulation and established business models are converging.
“Heidi brings a rare mix of creativity, commercial instinct and regulatory expertise to the boardroom. She navigates the tension between legal and business considerations in highly regulated markets, and is the kind of trusted advisor every company hopes to find.”

Strategic consulting for complex and evolving organisations.
CONSULTING
My clients operate across different sectors and business models, but often face questions that cross traditional boundaries between law, insurance, regulation, technology and risk.
I work with a select range of organisations where that broader perspective can bring particular value. My consulting work can encompass:
＋ RISK
＋ EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
＋ REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTS
＋ PRODUCT INNOVATION
＋ BUSINESS MODELS
＋ STRATEGIC DECISION-MAKING
Each engagement begins with a specific objective or question and is shaped around what the organisation is seeking to understand, develop or achieve.
Turning specialist knowledge into wider understanding.
TEACHING
I undertake selected teaching and educational engagements across areas including law, insurance, regulation and emerging technologies.
Drawing on practical experience across these fields, I connect technical subject matter with the commercial and strategic realities organisations are facing today.
This can include teaching, speaking and educational engagements for professional, academic and industry audiences.
Consulting and advisory work allows me to bring these perspectives together for organisations that may not require legal counsel, but value specialist experience and strategic commercial judgement.
A BROADER PERSPECTIVE
Insurance + Technology
Understanding how established risk frameworks respond to new products and models.
Governance + Strategy
Bringing experience and perspective to decisions with long-term consequences.
Risk + Commercial Opportunity
Looking beyond individual issues to their wider business implications.
Regulation + Innovation
Considering opportunity alongside an evolving regulatory landscape.
IMPORTANT DISTINCTION
Teaching, consulting, and advisory/board services are non-legal services, separate from my legal practice. They are not regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority or any U.S. bar authority, do not create an attorney-client relationship, and the protections that apply to legal services - including attorney-client privilege and professional liability coverage for legal work - do not apply to them.
