Career

Will you win? Probably the first question, but not the last. Clarity as to time frames, process, cost and the inevitable risk factors are key for any client that is facing litigation. Euan ensures that from the outset there is focus and answers, and that you know his view.

That clarity means early decisions on what success should look like – whether an early commercial exit, or a matter fought to judgment – and that pragmatism informs those decisions. Euan enjoys his work, and he enjoys the clients he works with. (And …he wants to win).

Euan originally qualified and practiced in New Zealand, before moving to the UK in 2001. He has worked at Baker McKenzie and Maclay Murray & Spens before joining Greenwoods in 2020.

He has been doing international commercial arbitration and litigation throughout his career, and advises across a range of commercial disputes, including unfair prejudice petitions and shareholder claims, warranty disputes under Share Purchase Agreements, and commercial fraud and consequential asset tracing claims. He has significant experience in claims commonly arising out of company insolvencies, in particular pursuing directors for breach of duty, fraud, preference and wrongful trading claims, and has also advised in auditor negligence claims.

Memberships

Euan is a member of AIPN, Oil & Gas UK, and the IBA. He is also a board member of the London Fraud Forum.
