Biography

Jill is a Professor of Property Law and the Natural Environment at the University of Glasgow and Deputy Chair of NatureScot. Her work sits at the intersection of law, governance, and environmental sustainability. She focuses on how legal frameworks can reconcile development and justice goals within the ecological limits of our natural systems, and support large-scale ecosystem restoration. 

Jill graduated with a law degree from the University of Edinburgh in 2008, before completing a PhD entitled Private Water Rights in Scots Law in 2012, supervised by Professor Kenneth Reid and Mr Scott Wortley. Following her doctorate, she obtained the Diploma in Professional Legal Practice and undertook a legal traineeship with Brodies LLP between 2013 and 2015, qualifying as a solicitor.

She joined the University of Glasgow in August 2015 as a Lecturer in Private Law, was promoted to Senior Lecturer in 2021, and became Professor in 2024.

Alongside her academic work, Jill plays an active role in environmental governance. Appointed to the Board of NatureScot in September 2022, she became Deputy Chair in May 2024. NatureScot is Scotland’s nature agency, responsible for improving the country’s natural environment and inspiring everyone to care for it. Jill’s appointment runs initially until August 2026. Since August 2023, she has also chaired the Scottish Beaver Advisory Group, guiding policy and practice on beaver reintroduction in Scotland.

Research interests

Jill’s research examines how law can reconcile social justice and economic development goals with the ecological limits our natural systems, while creating the legal and governance conditions for ecosystem restoration. She is particularly interested in the governance of land and water in ways that reverse environmental degradation and support climate resilience.

Her approach is strongly interdisciplinary, recognising that the challenges of land and sustainability are not solely the product of law and therefore require solutions that cross disciplinary boundaries. She also engages in comparative research, and speaks Norwegian for this purpose.

Her current projects focus on governance innovations for land, water, and biodiversity in the context of climate change and ecological recovery:

  • Principal Investigator, UKRI Land Use for Net Zero project: Rapid Engagement with Stressed Peatland Environments and Communities in Transformation (https://lunzhub.com/projects/respect/). This work develops data, tools, and governance proposals to change agricultural practices on peatland, contributing both to the UK’s net zero target and to peatland restoration.
  • Co-Investigator, EPSRC Programme Grant: Decentralised Water Technologies for Sustainable Rural Communities (https://www.offgridwater.org.uk/), researching future off-grid water and wastewater systems and their governance.
  • Co-Investigator, Norwegian Research Council project RIPARAGRO (https://www.globe.uio.no/english/research/projects/riparagro/), exploring barriers and opportunities for restoring riparian zones in agricultural landscapes in Viken, Norway.

Through these initiatives, Jill’s work bridges academic research, policy development, and practical environmental management - contributing to both scholarly debate and on-the-ground restoration outcomes.
