Another client testimonial states: "Eugenie is highly intelligent and quickly gets to the crux of matters. She's creative, persistent, has a strong pen and is verbally very persuasive" (Chambers USA, 2022). "She brings great tenacity, energy and positivity to the team. No issue, however complex, cannot be resolved or turned into an opportunity" (Chambers USA, 2023). Clients consider Eugenie "an exceptionally talented, solutions-focused lawyer with the aptitude to view a case from the 30,000 foot level and give sound strategic advice, while being equally driven to dig into the nuts and bolts personally, leaving no stone unturned, to deliver a win" (Chambers USA, 2023).
