Position

Ciaran heads Wiggin's corporate team and has over 20 years’ experience advising on a variety of deals, specialising in the computer games, technology and media sectors.

“I act for all types of clients in the media and technology sectors, from leading companies to investors and entrepreneurs.

I am experienced across a broad range of corporate transactions including M&A, venture capital, corporate venturing, joint ventures and reorganisations and frequently work on deals spanning multiple jurisdictions. I use this experience to offer clients pragmatic and sector-focused advice throughout the process and to ensure transactions are closed efficiently and successfully.

Working with clients whose sectors are constantly evolving provides constant challenges as a corporate adviser – I don’t just have today’s problems to contend with but tomorrow’s too. Identifying and solving these issues before they become major problems for my clients is particularly satisfying.”
