Anna Barlow is a post-doctoral researcher at Åbo Akademi University in Finland. Her recently completed thesis is a comparative study of legal aid in the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland from a comparative administrative law perspective. Anna previously worked for 20 years as a legal aid lawyer in London. She was co-founder and CEO of the not-for-profit solicitors’ firm Law For All, which developed innovative delivery methods to enable more clients to be helped under available legal aid funding. Anna worked as a solicitor within the organisation and also led and managed the legal team, which grew to 50 lawyers at its height. In 2009 she moved to Finland with her family and turned towards academic work, completing a Masters degree in international human rights law before commencing her doctorate. Teaching law at an undergraduate level, training future legal aid solicitors and working for an NGO in Brussels have also formed part of Anna’s career. She has published on legal aid in the Nordic countries, the UK and Ireland.
