Anna is a tenant at Park Square Barristers with a primary focus on criminal and family law.

During her Barrister Training Course, Anna volunteered for IPSEA; a charity that provides advice to young people and families of children with special educational needs. Anna assisted these individuals in preparing cases for Tribunal and navigating the legal system. Anna has further experience of regularly interacting with young and vulnerable people, which has enhanced her ability to act sensitively and pragmatically in emotive or difficult situations.

Academically, Anna has consistently demonstrated a diligent work ethic, having achieved a Distinction in the MA Law course and Outstanding in the BPTC. As further recognition for her achievements, Anna was awarded the Buchanan Prize by the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn. Anna has a particular interest in terrorism legislation and achieved a Distinction in her legal research project centred around this topic.

Anna also has a strong background in public speaking and the Arts. Throughout her Bar Course, Anna was awarded Outstanding in numerous advocacy modules. Beyond academic achievements, she enjoyed participating in numerous mooting competitions, and was runner up in both the ULaw Criminal Law Advocacy Competition 2020 and the Deans Court Family Advocacy Competition 2020.

Prior to commencing pupillage, Anna has thrived working in customer facing environments with rapidly changing demands and has operated well under pressure. This was exemplified whilst working abroad in New Zealand, where Anna managed a large client base and seamlessly interacted with a highly diverse range of customers. Anna’s organisational tenacity was further enhanced during her time as Treasurer of the University Bar Society, where she effectively managed the budget and contributed to the organisation of university-wide events.

Anna looks forward to developing a successful, wide-ranging practice.
