Monckton Chambers is perhaps best known for its expertise in handling group claims in the competition law space, however the team is equally adept at advising on collective proceedings in the consumer and commercial law spaces. Tim Ward KC, Michael Armitage and Antonia Fitzpatrick successfully acted for the class representative in the high-profile Kent v Apple case, a high-profile class action claim involving allegations of abuse of dominance.

Anneliese Blackwood
Anneliese is an outstanding barrister — thoughtful, intelligent, and exceptionally effective both strategically and analytically. Her drafting is excellent, and she is very solicitor-friendly in the way she approaches matters.
She is pragmatic, sensible, and not afraid to engage directly with difficult issues. She works extremely hard and is highly supportive of her instructing solicitors and wider legal team.
As an advocate, she has a calm, measured, and persuasive style. She has excellent instincts for what points are likely to resonate with the court and presents submissions in a very effective and credible way.
