Anneliese is developing a broad commercial and chancery practice in line with Chambers’ profile. She has a particular interest in matters concerning private wealth, 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 concerning ancillary relief in divorce, and contentious probate (lack of capacity, want of knowledge and approval), respectively. 

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 expertise and commercial experience to her legal work. Before transferring to the Bar Anneliese was a Specialist in Impressionist & Modern Art at leading international auction houses, in which role she researched and catalogued artworks and collaborated with academic experts, moral right-holders, and artist’s foundations to get fresh pieces authenticated. She also worked and negotiated directly with buyers and sellers – individuals, estates, dealers, and galleries – to build numerous successful auctions in her field. Such specialised industry expertise makes Anneliese particularly well-placed to assist with matters pertaining to Art and Cultural Property.

Anneliese also holds an MBA degree 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.
