Biography
Amy Anderson is an Associate in BTO’s Health & Safety practice. She is based in BTO’s Glasgow office. Amy has experience of acting in regulatory, criminal and civil matters.
Amy joined BTO in 2017. Before joining BTO, Amy completed a varied traineeship with a global full service law firm which included a six-month secondment to the Scottish Government Litigation Division. After completing her traineeship, Amy worked as a Solicitor in the Litigation Team of a Scottish law firm, representing clients in a variety of disputes ranging from commercial contract disputes to medical negligence actions and family matters.
Amy frequently represents clients subject to investigations by regulators, including the Health and Safety Executive and Local Authority Environmental Health Departments. She regularly represents clients at interviews and provides early advice to clients in the immediate aftermath of an incident on the health and safety investigation, enforcement notices and the HSE’s Fee for Intervention Scheme. Where possible, she encourages the early resolution of matters, either by persuading the Crown to discontinue proceedings or by plea negotiation to ensure the best outcome for the client.
Amy represents clients at Fatal Accident Inquiries. She guides clients through the process in a pragmatic and sensitive way, taking all possible steps to minimise any adverse commercial or personal consequences of the proceedings.
Amy has provided health and safety training to both insurer and private clients. She is a member of the Health and Safety Lawyers’ Association.
