She contributes to a number of leading texts and is an expert on the law of consumer credit and financial services law more generally. She has been appointed Queen’s Counsel Honoris Causa in 2020 and retired as a Barrister from Lincoln’s Inn.[2]
Eva has graduated her Bachelor of Laws and Master of Arts degrees at Cambridge University[3] and qualified as a barrister.[4] Her early work focused on discrimination, but soon moved into the fields of consumer credit, as the Consumer Credit Act 1974 was passed. The subsequent overhaul of consumer credit laws implemented in the Consumer Credit Act 2006 was prepared by the then Department of Trade and Industry’s ‘Consumer Credit Steering Group’ in which Eva was involved.[5]
In 1975, she joined King's College London as a lecturer[6] and became professor in 1993.[4]
On 21 January 2020 she was awarded the title of Queen’s Counsel Honoris Causa,[7][8] one of ten individuals to receive the award in the year.
Eva is a Bencher of the Middle Temple[9] and was[2] practising barrister with an advisory practice in consumer credit and financial services regulation at Lincoln's Inn Chambers.[10]
