What the Team is Known For
Blackstone Chambers offers impressive experience in a wide range of EU law issues, acting for multinational corporations, individual citizens and governmental and regulatory bodies, as well as the European Commission itself. Corporate clients hail from a diverse range of sectors including financial services, telecommunications and transport. The set has a strong track record of appearances in cases relating to the principles of competition law, freedom of information and free movement, among others. The barristers also represent those subject to EU sanctions in various appeals. Recent highlights include acting for ITV Plc in its challenge to the EU Commission state aid decision and in the Rwanda litigation in the Supreme Court, regarding allegations that the Secretary of State had breached EU law. One commentator notes the set has "strong expertise in European law and public law, as well as an outstanding ability to handle complex and sophisticated matters, and cut through to the net issues succinctly and clearly".
