She currently provides communications counsel to the government of Mexico as it negotiates the modernization of the North American Free Trade Agreement, and she recently managed a global media crisis for the Panamanian law firm involved in the Panama Papers data breach.

Heeren has also provided public affairs and media relations counsel to HOVENSA, a U.S. Virgin Islands refinery, in its liquidation process, and to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, or PREPA, as it renegotiated its debt and worked to transform its infrastructure.
