Blackstone Chambers is ‘at the vanguard of telecoms law’ and has capabilities across the set in competition and EU cases. Recent work for the set includes that of James Segan KC who appeared before the Court of Appeal in Tesla v InterDigital & Avanci on behalf of Tesla regarding which licence fees should be paid by car manufacturers for tech in 5G cellular-enabled vehicles. Further, Jessica Boyd KC is acting alongside Brian Kennelly KC and others in Stasi v Microsoft Corp & Ors, defending collective proceedings brought in relation to alleged cloud services-related license abuses. Emily Neill has ’deep knowledge’ of the sector and is a noteworthy barrister, as is George Molyneaux who continues to act for Gibifibre before the Supreme Court of Gibraltar in Gibfibre Ltd v Gibtelecom Ltd, which involves an alleged abuse of a dominant position regarding the supply of communications services from the largest data centre in Gibraltar.
