Two lawyers with Shepherd and Wedderburn have been appointed to senior positions at the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators.

Leigh Herd, an Associate in Shepherd and Wedderburn’s construction disputes team, has been confirmed as Vice Chair of the Scottish Branch of the institute.

Having previously held the position of Honorary Secretary, Ms Herd, who was last year named Rising Star of the Year at the Scottish Legal Awards, has played an active role in the institute’s Scottish arm since 2015.
