Euan's main areas of work are in:-

• Business Sales and Purchases. Euan was nominated in 1994 in "Euromoney" (an independent publication) as one of the World's leading Merger and Acquisition lawyers. He was one of the UK three lawyers only who were nominated for this singular honour outside the City of London. He concentrates on the owner-managed business.
• Commercial Property, Commercial Contracts, E-Commerce , Intellectual Property and Commercial Mediation. All these form part of a seamless service to business clients, and many are inter-linked in practice.
• International Trade. Euan was one of the 1990 founders of a European international lawyers network of English speaking business lawyers called "Eurolegal". Access to other network member firms across Western and Central Europe has proved vital when negotiating and conducting cross-border joint ventures and corporate work. From 1995-1998 Euan was its Chairman and thus has extremely wide experience of the legal minefield of European Law throughout the EU.

Euan's role in the international area is to smooth the path for UK clients doing business abroad. He can meet our client in the UK for initial instructions and thus speed up the process for the foreign lawyer's advice on the foreign law, regulations and trading practices, having detailed first-hand local information. Euan blends that into our client's UK requirements as part of our seamless service.

In 1990 Euan was accredited by ADR Group as a Commercial Mediator and nominated in 2009 as a national "leader in the field" by Chambers Directory, (an independent publication). This was not a 'first' for Euan as he had been nominated similarly in previous years.

Euan frequently writes and speaks on European and UK Competition Law topics, on E-commerce topics, and has published two books on European Public Procurement Law.

Being a consultant with "of Counsel" status to a Polish law firm in Warsaw, plus well-established and regularly working cross-border links with 21 other law firms in 14 European countries, with some 550 lawyers practising in all areas of business, is a plus for UK companies who may wish to expand their business interests abroad.

Euan's interests include umpiring Hockey matches and he has an abiding interest in Western and Central European history.
