Keith Schilling

Spear’s Review

A giant in the British legal scene for more than three decades, Schillings founder Keith Schilling is credited with groundbreaking rulings and changing UK privacy law.

His firm has achieved many firsts since its founding in 1984 – not least the landmark House of Lords decision in favour of Naomi Campbell’s 2004 breach of privacy claim against the Daily Mirror. ‘I felt such invasions of privacy and unjust damage to reputation weren’t right. It didn’t feel fair,’ he tells Spear’s

Since 2014, the firm has more than doubled in size and has opened offices in Miami and Dublin. In 2019, Schillings was famously chosen by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to act for them in their case against the Mail on Sunday.
