Milberg London is pleased to welcome Anna Keenlyside as Of Counsel. Anna’s arrival further bolsters the firm’s growing Competition practice and its strength in complex competition litigation and collective proceedings.
Anna joins Milberg from Simmons & Simmons LLP, where she was previously Of Counsel in the Dispute Resolution and Investigations team. Anna has substantial experience advising on complex disputes, with particular expertise in competition class actions before the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT).
At Simmons & Simmons, Anna acted for both claimants and defendants in high-profile opt-out proceedings, following five years at Stewarts in the Competition Litigation team. Anna began her career at Clifford Chance in London, where she spent almost a decade advising financial institutions and corporates on complex litigation matters.

On the claimant side, Anna has recently acted for Waterside Class in opt-out collective proceedings against Mowi and other salmon producers in the CAT.
Anna Keenlyside said: “Milberg is one of the few UK-based firms at the forefront of the consumer collective redress regime, and I am delighted to be joining at such a pivotal moment for collective actions in the UK.
