Serle Court

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

Anneliese completed pupillage in 2023 and was supervised by Stephanie Wickenden, Dan McCourt Fritz KC, Harry Martin, and Thomas Elias. She also assisted James Weale and Constance McDonnell KC in two multi-week trials.

During pupillage and thereafter, Anneliese has worked on a broad range of private client and commercial matters which often contained multiple legal issues spanning copyright and trademark infringement, title disputes, breach of contract,  rectification of trust deeds, civil fraud, and breach of director’s and fiduciary duties.
