Kiaron Whitehead 

Kiaron Whitehead fights for and facilitates creativity. He is an innovative media, entertainment and technology barrister, named in The Lawyer as one of its Hot 100, with 24 years’ experience advising on, winning and defending cutting-edge litigation.

Kiaron is the magnetic North in a crisis. He is authorised by the Bar Standards Board to practice as an employed and self-empolyed barrister – giving him insight and understanding of the financial, practical, political and regulatory pressures of modern business; and an ambitious, commercial and strategic approach to running and managing multiple pieces of litigation.

His legal expertise focuses on intellectual property, the internet, artificial intelligence, commercial disputes, judicial review, corporate governance and investigations; Kiaron regularly collaborates with legal and non-legal teams around the world to resolve disputes, and brings clients success in high-profile UK and multi-regional disputes, often on a class action basis.

He is a believer in the protection of rights in a modern, diverse and digital justice system. The Lawyer describes him as “panache personified”. In his spare time, he is Secretary of the IP Bar Association, and also provides pro-bono legal services to those most in need of access to justice. He has been nominated for Advocate’s Pro-Bono Barrister of The Year, where clients praise him for being “passionate, committed and a force of nature” … “he literally transformed my future”
