Anneli Howard: What the Directories say

Chambers UK, 2010  - "Others at the set to impress include Anneli Howard, who "has a fantastic way about her." This former solicitor "knows what buttons to press," having been an associate in EU/competition litigation at Freshfield Bruckhaus Deringer before building a strong competition practice at the Bar. She is seen as crucial to the future of chambers."

"Anneli Howard, "a brilliantly strategic thinker who is incredibly prompt," wins support for her "hands-on, collaborative approach" and "clear understanding of the pressures faced in-house by operators." In addition to both Nokia and BT, she also acted for Ofcom before the CAT in a case concerning the legality of telecoms devices called GSM gateways." - Chambers UK, 2010

Under Competition and EU law Chambers UK, 2009 states that "The "responsive, hard-working and practical" Anneli Howard is popular with clients, who say she “listens to what you want to achieve and goes about it in an incredibly time-responsive manner.” Her expertise covers EC and UK competition law, telecoms and human rights issues."

On Telecommunications: "Anneli Howard also had a key role in the Floe case, and has been advising Ofcom in the Court of Appeal. She has also represented BT in the Orange v Ofcom jurisdiction appeal, and acted for the same client in the termination rates dispute. Commentators note that “her work output is phenomenal and her intellectual ability first-rate.”"

"On the EU front ... Anneli Howard, who is ' very good for cartel cases', appeared in the leading enforceability of patents case, Qualcomm v Nokia. " - The Legal 500, 2008

"The “excellent and very pragmatic” Anneli Howard is praised as “especially good on leniency issues.” Her competition work has led to appearances before the CAT, the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords, whilst her European law practice regularly sees her act before the Community Courts in Luxembourg." - Chambers UK, 2008

The Legal 500, 2007 says: "Monckton Chambers' rich bed of talented juniors continues to impress..." and "Former Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer associate Anneli Howard has also made a significant impression following regular appearances in the CAT and European courts." In 2006 they mentioned: "Anneli Howard has only a few years' call, but has a wealth of EU and competition experience from a lengthy spell with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. She has represented Visa in several headline cases in the UK and Europe." 

On EU/Competition ~ Chambers UK, 2007: "Anneli Howard has a growing competition practice as evidenced by her recent involvement in Floe Telecoms v Ofcom, JJB Allsports v OFT and a range of competition cases for Visa."

In their 2006 guide they said: "Anneli Howard was recognised by clients as "a bright and hard-working talent" and a star for the future. Previously an associate at Freshfields and a former réferendaire to Judge David Edward at the ECJ from 2000-2003, she is particularly active in the EC case, Visa v European Commission."
