Monckton Chambers
With a reputation for being a 'leading chambers for telecommunications law and regulation‘, Monckton Chambers' barristers are well versed in handling a broad spectrum of telecommunications matters. In Sky v Ofcom, Meredith Pickford KC is representing the claimant in an appeal to challenge Ofcom's decision that Sky's Pay TV service should be treated as an electronic communication service, which would have implications for the type of regulation that could be applied to Sky. Among the juniors, Philip Woolfe KC has an excellent track record in acting for mobile and fixed line telecommunications companies, often before the regulatory authorities. In a boost to chambers, Ben Lask KC took silk in March 2023.
