‘Anya is able to absorb lots of information at super-human speed and then to produce an analysis and argument covering all the bases.’
Chambers of James Goudie KC and Daniel Stilitz KC
Described as the ‘go-to’ set for information law, the barristers at 11KBW are frequently instructed in cases concerning media law, data privacy and European law in the online world for more news outlets and social media companies alike. Anya Proops KC recently acted for TikTok in the significant SMO v TikTok case concerning the way the Chinese-owned social media platform processes the data of British children. In Kirk, Marshall & Newton v Associated Newspapers Limited, David Glen is representing a newspaper regarding its coverage of the alleged and highly-publicised blackmail case between actress Charlotte Kirk and film industry executive Ron Meyer. Further strengthening the practice is Hannah Ready, who represented the claimant Chandler v Bryant, concerning tweets published by Labour MP Chris Bryant republishing allegations of money laundering made under parliamentary privilege – the matter settled with an apology from Bryant.
