Blackstone Chambers is regarded by clients as the ‘go-to’ set for media and entertainment cases, offering ‘tremendous strength in depth’ of expert barristers in this field. Their barristers act in a variety of cases across media, on behalf of film and theatre companies, publishers and high-profile individuals. Robert Howe KC frequently acts for clients in the music industry, including recently in Noel Redding Estate Ltd v Sony Entertainment Ltd, where he represented Sony in a dispute on copyrights and performers rights in Jimi Hendrix’s recordings. Tom Weisselberg KC acted in a partnership dispute on behalf of ex-Culture Club drummer Jon Moss against his former bandmates concerning his ejection from the band.

‘A go-to set for commercial disputes‘, Blackstone Chambers‘ litigators are routinely able to leverage the set’s notable credentials in financial services, City regulation and civil fraud. In an approximately $120m contractual dispute claim involving the use of the Virgin name, recently-elected joint chambers’ head Tom Weisselberg KC acted for Alaska Airways; and in Deposit Guarantee Fund of Ukraine v Bank Frick & anor, Luka Krsljanin, led by Andreas Gledhill KC, succeeded in striking out a claim, which was brought by a Ukrainian liquidator to set aside tens of millions of pounds in payments allegedly made by fraudsters to defendant banks, as a misuse of the Insolvency Act 1986’s section 423 procedure. Adam Baradon KC, who recently led Carmine Conte in a $3bn trial over assets in India, took silk in March 2023.
