Anneliese Mondschein

Anneliese Mondschein is developing a broad commercial and chancery practice in line with Chambers’ profile. She has a particular interest in matters involving trusts, private clients, contracts and commercial arrangements, intellectual property, and art and cultural property.

Anneliese is identified as a ‘Rising Star’ in the Legal 500, and ‘Up and Coming’ in Chambers & Partners High Net Worth Guide.

Since joining Chambers in 2024 upon the successful completion of her pupillage, Anneliese has worked (both led and unled) on a broad range of domestic and offshore private client and commercial disputes concerning (by way of example) breaches of trust, breaches of contract, art and cultural property, contentious probate matters, and infringement of intellectual property rights.

Anneliese brings her prior professional and commercial experience to her legal work. Before transferring to the Bar, Anneliese was an Impressionist and Modern Art Specialist at leading international auction houses, working closely with small businesses and high-net-worth private collectors and their estates. She also holds an MBA and worked in strategy consulting and market research full-time alongside her legal studies, for which she obtained the prestigious Lord Denning Major Scholarship from Lincoln’s Inn.

Well-publicised matters in which she has been involved include the Jersey Heritage Trust’s claim against artist Christopher Levine (for the claimant), Ant and Dec’s successful application for a Norwich Pharmacal order against a respondent art dealer (for the applicants), a trademark dispute arising out of a “Dragon’s Den” invention, and the will validity dispute Leonard v Leonard [2024] EWHC 321(ChD) (as a pupil).

Anneliese is fluent / bilingual in French, conversant in Spanish, and speaks and reads basic German.
