A Blackburn lawyer barred from practising as a solicitor more than 20 years ago has been reinstated following a tribunal. Bushra Anwar, of Beardwood Park, was the first Asian female solicitor to run her own practice in the region. She set up her firm on Strawberry Bank in the early nineties and her thriving practice was set to expand. Speaking of the decision to reinstate her on the solicitors roll, Ms Anwar said she was ‘happy to have received ‘justice’ more than 20 years since she was last able to practise as a solicitor. Ms Anwar was struck off by the Law Society in May 1999, after admitting a number of counts of serious misconduct.
