Kaisa Näkki (LL.M., trained on the bench) is a PhD Researcher. She writes her multidisciplinary, empirical doctoral thesis about ”The many faces of dementia – Assessing the need for legal guardianship”.

Näkki is researching under what circumstances a person with dementia is considered legally incapable and needs a legal guardian – especially if he or she has other cognitive or neuropsychiatric symptoms or signs than classical memory deficits. An essential research question is how the perspectives of medical professionals and legal professionals differ on this matter.

Näkki is also a member of the network of elder law experts VAASI.
