Aidan Eardley KC
Aidan took silk in 2022 after an exceptionally busy and varied career as a junior. The Legal 500 describes him as “a very technical, detailed silk” who has “encyclopaedic legal knowledge; clarity of thought and expression and is very thorough”. He has a broad practice encompassing all aspects of media and information law with particular expertise in data protection and contempt of court. His clients have included national newspapers and broadcasters, MPs, celebrities, trade unions, government departments, public authorities, social media operators, regulators and large and small companies. He has appeared in courts and tribunals at every level of seniority. His recent work includes the leading contempt of court case, Attorney General v Crosland, in the Supreme Court, and Mincione v Gedi Gruppo Editoriale Spa in the Court of Appeal, concerning the jurisdiction to grant an internet injunction against a foreign defendant in a libel claim.
As a junior, Aidan served on the Attorney General’s ‘A’ Panel of counsel and on the Bar Standards Board’s Advisory Pool of Experts, advising the BSB on data protection matters. He sits as a Deputy High Court Judge and a criminal Recorder.
Aidan is a co-author of Duncan & Neill on Defamation and a contributor to Arlidge, Eady & Smith on Contempt and Information Rights.
