Before starting pupillage at KBW, Eugene volunteered for Leeds Free Legal Representation. This involved dealing with clients from the early stages of their case where they might be seeking initial advice on the likelihood of success, through to drafting written applications, reviewing evidence, conducting legal research and representing clients in multi-day final hearing in the employment tribunals. As part of this role, Eugene dealt with cases involving allegations of racial discrimination, discrimination based on disability, victimisation and unlawful dismissal.
Whilst undergoing pupillage, Eugene has completed the ICCA Children in Conflict with the Law training, which focusses on the specialist skills required for representing children, and advocacy in the Youth Courts.
