Portrait of Anneliese Mondschein

Practice Overview

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. Notable cases in which she was involved include Hirachand v Hirachand & Ors UKSC 2022/0015 on appeal from [2021] EWCA Civ 1498 (for the Respondent), THG plc and others v. Zedra Trust Company (Jersey) Limited [2024] EWCA Civ 158. (for the successful Appellants), EasyGroup Ltd v Easy Live (Services) Ltd & Ors [2023] EWCA Civ 1508 (for the successful Appellant), and Leonard v Leonard [2024] EWHC 321(ChD) (for the successful Claimants).

Anneliese brings her prior professional and commercial experience to her legal work. Before transferring to the Bar, Anneliese was a Specialist at leading international auction houses, working closely with small businesses and high-net-worth private collectors and their estates. She also holds an MBA and worked in strategy consulting and market research full-time alongside her legal studies, for which she obtained the prestigious Lord Denning Major Scholarship from Lincoln’s Inn.

Anneliese is fluent/bilingual in French, conversant in Spanish, and speaks and reads basic German.
