Education
Kilshaw received a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Oxford. Oxford is a collegiate research university in Oxford, England, and its origins are traced to teaching documented from as early as 1096. Modeled on the University of Paris, it was established with initial faculties of theology, law, medicine, and the liberal arts, and it has traditionally been noted for scholarship in the classics, theology, and political science.
He was admitted to the bar in England in 1983. Call to the bar is conferred by one of the four Inns of Court in London, which have the authority to call students to the Bar and so permit them to practise as barristers.
Career
Kilshaw worked as a partner of Theodore Goddard, a law firm based in London. The firm was founded in 1902 by John Theodore Goddard in the City of London and developed as a balanced general practice with an emphasis on private client work. By 1946 it had eight partners, and in the late 1950s and early 1960s it attracted many company clients as its commercial practice expanded rapidly.
The firm kept a strong media and entertainment law practice into the 1990s. On 1 May 2003 Theodore Goddard merged with Addleshaw Booth & Co to form Addleshaw Goddard, ending the separate Theodore Goddard name.
