It is with shock and sadness that Chambers announces the untimely passing of our treasured colleague, Heather Rogers KC. To those fortunate enough to have known her, Heather embodied kindness, unwavering support to colleagues, and unparalleled competence, leaving an indelible mark on all of us. As the esteemed Head of the DSC Media Team and a cornerstone of Doughty Street's leadership, she exemplified dedication and provided resolute guidance to the chambers she held dear. The Doughty Street family extend our heartfelt sympathies to Heather’s wife Julie, and all her family and friends at this distressing time.
