EU/Competition

EU and Competion Law have for over two decades been a major part of our practice. Many of the leading cases have been constructed and argued by members of Chambers.  We believe that our reputation in this field is second to none.

The breadth and depth of our EU work means that members of Chambers are expert at litigating EU and Competition matters in the national courts and tribunals (including the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT), High Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords) and the European Courts (Court of Justice and Court of First Instance in Luxembourg), as well as before the European Commission in Brussels.

Legal directories have said that members of Chambers are "dynamic and take a robust commercial approach", and comment that "chambers have technical excellence in both advisory and advocacy work".

Listed below are some of the principal areas of EU and Competition Law in which members of Chambers accept instructions. Please click through for further details of our expertise and experience in these areas.

What the Directories say ...

"Brick Court Chambers has a distinguished reputation based on consistent involvement in leading cases." Recommended as a leading set in The Legal 500 2008, with seven recommended Silks and ten recommended Juniors.

"The clear choice for serious litigation work," Brick Court has "a group of talented and experienced individuals" who are never far away from involvement in the most important cases. Blessed with "a horse for every course," it covers the full range of competition and EU law, and has a niche interest in state aid work. Members act in front of the ECJ, European Commission, High Court, Court of Appeal and OFT, offering "a superb service, with every single individual delivering his best." (Chambers & Partners 2009)
