Work Department
Cyber + Technology
Position
Kieran is the Head of Cyber + Technology. He is often the first person our local and London-based clients turn to following a cyber-attack.
Kieran helps clients respond to complex cyber incidents, including matters that involve highly sensitive breaches and cyber-attacks, some of which have been widely described as “crippling” and the “most significant in Australian corporate history”. His work spans assessing and monitoring incidents, setting up and managing data breach response vendor teams, and managing cyber claims across a wide range of incidents from ransomware attacks to email compromises.
As part of the cyber practice, Kieran advises on federal and state privacy law compliance and compulsory notifications. He also acts as a cyber breach lawyer for first and third party cyber risks, including defending claims against businesses and government agencies resulting from a breach. More broadly, Kieran defends IT managed service providers in professional liability matters, many of which involve cyber incidents.
Kieran also has one of the largest cyber coverage practices in the market, advising insurers on the most important and significant incidents in Australia.
Kieran’s work often involves incidents affecting multiple jurisdictions (including GDPR issues) and works closely with his Legalign Global colleagues. In this global role, Kieran is an active contributor to thought leadership in Australia and takes part in global panels and seminars.
