1Brick Court Chambers
Brick Court Chambers continues to handle a steady stream of complex and high profile contentious EU mandates. Recent instructions include Marie Demetriou KC acting for the appellant in British Sugar v Secretary of State for International Trade, a judicial review challenging measures adopted by the UK Government under the post-Brexit UK General Tariff Regime. Jemima Stratford KC has been kept busy handling financial and pharmaceutical related matters, and Sarah Abram KC is ‘across all of the major claims and her knowledge cannot be bettered’. Among the juniors, Tim Johnston regularly advises local authorities and government departments on a range of EU matters, and Richard Blakeley KC is sought after for his expertise in handling sanctions issues.
