Practice Areas
Kieran is recognised as one of the UK’s leading trial and appeal barristers who has vast experience in dealing with the most serious, complex and high-profile cases.
Over the years he has defended individuals in the Crown Court and Court of Appeal in many of the highest profile fraud, murder, terrorist, sexual offences and serious crime cases to come before the courts. To name but a small selection:
• Thomas Kavanagh (said to be the Kinihan Cartel’s UK lieutenant),
• David Mills (HBoS fraud),
• Ched Evans (successful appeal against rape conviction),
• Sean Hoey (Omagh Bombing),
• Michael McKevitt (Omagh Bombing civil case),
• Usman Khan (London Bridge attacker),
• Joanne Barnes (Terry Adams money laundering case),
• Luke Menicou (Tommy Adams money laundering case).
• Reiss Nelson (Arsenal footballer charged with dangerous dog offence)
• Clive Standish (former CFO of UBS).
Kieran has recently been described in a leading legal directory (Legal 500 2024) as "possibly the best KC of our generation;" "A brilliant jury advocate;" and as being a "devastating cross-examiner with a lovely manner.”
