Claire Gill is working on two big cases against Google which go to trial next year, acting for clients claiming for alleged data breaches and misuse of private information arising from search results. Both cases ‘involve an important point of principle about how the public can access information via Google search engines,’ says Gill, who has been at Carter-Ruck since 1994.
Gill’s main focus is defamation and privacy, plus data protection and protection from harassment. She has also been providing urgent trouble-shooting advice pre-publication or pre-broadcast: ‘If you can keep private information out of the press you can have a really big impact, as the reverse can often be devastating.’
