Antitrust Pro Returns To Monckton Chambers

By  |  November 2, 2020

Sir Christopher Bellamy QC has returned to his former chambers, Monckton Chambers, and will be focusing on arbitration and mediation, with a particular emphasis on competition and regulatory matters.

Sir Christopher joins Monckton from leading international law firm Linklaters where he had been since 2007; starting in 2011, he was Chairman of the firm’s global competition practice. 

Before Linklaters, he was instrumental in setting up the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) and held the post of its first President from 1999 to 2007. Prior to joining the CAT, from 1992 to 1999 he was one of 15 judges of the Court of First Instance (CFI), now the General Court of the EU, and President of a five-judge chamber from 1996 to 1999.

Sir Christopher is considered to be one of the most influential competition lawyers in Europe. He was the co-author of the earlier editions of Bellamy & Child, European Union Law of Competition, now in its eighth edition.
