A ‘pre-eminent set for EU law’, Brick Court Chambers has a well established reputation for its ability to handle the most significant and high profile cases dealing with EU law and relations. In WS v Bulgaria, Marie Demetriou KC represented the UNHCR before the CJEU in a case that raised complex issues of construction of EU asylum legislation, with the judgment handed down in early 2024 having important implications for the rights of women refugees who have suffered sex-based violence. Maya Lester KC, a ’go-to barrister for complex EU legal issues’, is acting for the claimant in XTX Markets Technologies Ltd v Legal & General Investment Management Ltd; the first case to raise the interaction between the UK Equality Act, human rights, and EU restrictions on the provision of financial products to Russians. Daniel Jowell KC managed to secure a last minute settlement for Visa on the eve of its trial with Euronet, with the latter claiming a breach of Article 101 of the EU Treaty in respect of Visa’s rules relating to the ability to charge at ATMs in Poland, the Czech Republic and Greece.
