She was called to the Bar of England and Wales in 2008. She is currently completing a PhD at the University of Cambridge focusing on European data protection law.

Orla’s primary field of interest is data protection law. Her thesis examines the regulatory regime for data protection in the EU and identifies its costs and objectives. More generally, Orla is interested in how rights are protected in the online environment and in many aspects of EU law, including competition law, internal market law and fundamental rights protection in the EU legal order.
