Every year, The Lawyer Hot 100 recognises a diverse mix of legal professionals who have been the standout lawyers in the UK over the previous twelve months. This year, Daisy Mackersie is listed amongst the 13 “Hot 100” barristers mentioned.
Daisy is described as follows:
“Class action matters will swamp the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in 2025, with judges scrutinising the collective action regime in England and Wales. Monckton Chambers is the go-to set for competition matters and Daisy Mackersie is fast becoming one of its most in-demand barristers.
Mackersie finished 2024 on a high, having secured a victory for BT in the UK’s first full collection action trial to come before the CAT. The run of high-profile cases will continue in 2025 with Mackersie acting for Fortnite creator Epic Games in its mammoth dispute with Google.

Mackersie is considered a leading junior in competition law, someone who is actively shaping the new regime that is being created through the courts. With her ferocious analytical skills and ability to explain the most complex legal arguments in a straightforward yet persuasive manner, Mackersie is barrister clients are lucky to have on their side.”
