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 and cultural property.
Anneliese joined chambers in 2024 upon the successful completion of her pupillage. She 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.
Anneliese has worked (both led and unled) on a broad range of domestic and off-shore private client and commercial disputes spanning (by way of example) breach of trust, breach of contract, art and cultural property, contentious probate, and infringement of intellectual property rights.
Notable cases in which she has been involved include 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), as well as the well-publicised dispute between the Jersey Heritage Trust and artist Christopher Levine, pertaining to the latter's holographic portrait of Her Late Majesty the Queen.
Anneliese brings her prior professional and commercial experience to her legal work. Before transferring to the Bar, Anneliese was an Impressionist and Modern Art 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.
