Since being called to the Bar in 2021, Kendal has established a wide practice spanning all areas of soft IP and media law. She has a particular expertise in trade marks and passing off, copyright, designs and database rights, in addition to related contractual and jurisdictional issues. Kendal conducted her first solo IPEC trial just 3 months after taking tenancy against experienced senior counsel. Since then, she has appeared regularly as both sole and junior counsel in the IPEC, High Court, Court of Appeal, UKIPO, and before the Appointed Person.
Kendal has acted in some widely reported cases, including AGA v Uk Innovation [2024] and WaterRower v Liking [2024], which was awarded Impact Case of the Year at the Managing IP Awards 2025. She is also an ADR qualified mediator and a contributor to Copinger and Skone James on Copyright.
Outside of Chambers, Kendal teaches on the trade mark litigation course at Nottingham Law School, and she also sits on the committee of IPSoc. Before coming to the Bar, Kendal spent some time working in the Copyright and Enforcement Directorate at the UKIPO. As part of the Digital Technologies Team, her work was focused on the interaction between Artificial Intelligence and IP law, and the shifting legal landscape in this area.
