THE CHAMBERS Monckton Chambers is a leading set with expertise across a wide range of commercial and civil law, with a particular focus on EU, competition, VAT, other indirect taxes and public and administrative law. The set also has significant international expertise conducting a range of work in the fields of public international law, trade and arbitration. The interrelationship between domestic law, EU law and international human rights law is central to much of Chambers’ work, and members have unrivalled expertise in these areas.

Monckton Chambers is recognised as a market leader in specialist advocacy, advisory and dispute-resolution services, and is renowned for members’ intellectual rigour, commercial focus and ability to get results. Members of Chambers act for private sector clients (from multinationals to SMEs and private individuals), the UK Government, regulators, local authorities, NGOs and non-UK bodies, including foreign states and the EU institutions. This breadth of experience means that members are sensitive to the commercial objectives of private clients and also have a good understanding of governmental and regulatory decision making processes.
