Sectors

Eugene is a partner in the employment team, and has worked on a full range of contentious and non-contentious employment law issues. With over 25 years’ post-qualification experience, he has advised a wide variety of clients within the technology, financial services, logistics, automotive, utilities, media, retail, social housing and not-for-profit sectors. Clients have praised Eugene for his commercial approach to work.

He is regularly involved in Employment Tribunal hearings, including those relating to complex unlawful discrimination and whistleblowing claims, and has assisted with appeals to the Employment Appeal Tribunal. Other areas of his expertise include helping to resolve boardroom disputes, advising on TUPE, working with businesses on the management of redundancy and restructuring exercises, and supporting employers during trade union disputes. Eugene has also assisted senior executives with the negotiation of service agreements and high-value severance deals and has provided strategic advice on team moves. He acts in post-termination restrictive covenant disputes, some of which have involved High Court injunction proceedings.

I get tremendous satisfaction in helping clients through difficult situations and assisting them with achieving their goals. I have been referred to by a number of organisations as being ‘a part of their team’ and their ‘unofficial in-house lawyer’, which is a great compliment and reflects the way I like to work.
