Monckton Chambers is considered ‘one of the leading sets in telecoms regulation’. Recent work across the team includes Robert Palmer KC’s acting in defence of BT in Eircom (UK) Ltd v BT plc, wherein BT is being sued over the outcome of a tendering exercise for the provision of telecoms services to the public sector in Northern Ireland, which BT won; having had an abuse of dominance claim stayed already, the action for damages for breach of regulatory requirements is to be heard in July 2025. Ben Lask KC is a ‘highly competent silk’ in the set also.
