Covering the full spectrum of competition law cases, Blackstone Chambers‘ members demonstrate a strong track record acting for both claimants and defendants in high-profile collective proceedings. Exemplifying this expertise is Brian Kennelly KC, who continues to be instructed in significant damages cases and collective proceedings. Kieron Beal KC continues to represent the claimants in the long-running Umbrella Interchange Fee Claimants vs Visa and MasterCard proceedings. Hanif Mussa KC acted for the respondents in Granville Technology Group Limited and others v LG Display Co Limited, a Court of Appeal case concerning the assessment of damages in competition law claims. Thomas de la Mare KC is another key competition silk within the set and Paul Luckhurst is a junior to note.
