His commercial work includes commercial fraud, sale and supply of goods, services and commodities, commercial agency and general contractual disputes. His clients have ranged from corporate entities and insurance companies to a foreign government.

Notable case: TARBS v Republic of Macedonia [2012] EWHC 1691

As part of his insurance practice, Kiril has represented claimants and defendants in professional negligence claims against architects, construction companies, solicitors (both lender claims and general litigation negligence) as well as other professionals. Kiril has particular experience with cases in which claimants with high value personal injury or clinical negligence claims have had their claims under-settled, struck out or dismissed by a court due to the alleged negligence of their solicitors.


Data Protection

Kiril has a broad practice in data protection and information law. His spectrum of work ranges from claims based under the DPA/GDPR, breach of confidence, confidentiality, and the misuse of private information through to data privacy issues such as data sharing, data theft, data transfers outside the European Economic Area, handling subject access requests, implementing the GDPR, and related issues under Article 8 ECHR (right to private life).

He advises and represents insurers, data subjects, data controllers (including large corporate entities and a wide range of public authorities). He is involved in the litigation process from pre-action through to trial. He is well noted and regarded for his vigorous attention to detail, commercial mindset and working as part of a team.

Kiril brings a specific set of skills to his defence work, namely that of addressing fundamentally dishonest claims where personal injury forms part of the claim for data breach. He is highly ranked in both Chambers and Partners and the Legal 500 in this area, being described as “Strategically excellent on difficult cases. Provides alternative views on complex issues”.
