Vicki Bowles
Vicki Bowles qualified as a barrister in 2001, and worked initially in tax and excise litigation before moving to the Charity Commission. At the Commission, Vicki began advising on information law related issues, and completed her LLM in information law and practice. Upon moving into private practice, Vicki started advising charities on both charity and information law, but found a growing need for information law expertise – particularly in the field of freedom of information requests. With the coming into force of the EU GDPR, Vicki focused on information law exclusively.
Vicki advises a wide range of clients on issues related to access to information, confidentiality and data protection. Having worked in and for the public sector throughout her career, she has developed a particular specialism in access to information, and assisting clients to navigate complex freedom of information act requests. Vicki combines her pragmatism and commercial approach with expert legal knowledge to assist clients in understanding their obligations, and meet their strategic goals.
Vicki is a regular speaker and trainer on all aspects of information law, and is a CIPP/E certified data protection professional.
