Eugene is a Senior Associate in our corporate team.
Acting for dental corporates, independent dentists and dental care professionals, Eugene specialises in the acquisition and disposal of dental practices, either by way of the sale or purchase of a company’s assets or shares.
Eugene also advises on matters such as registration with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) — whether standalone (such as setting up a squat dental practice) or as part of the sale or purchase of a dental practice — as well as the protection of NHS contracts, incorporations, NHS 24-hour retirements, partnership agreements and dental practice due diligence.
Experienced in corporate law, Eugene previously worked at a firm that specialised in dental practices. He has experience in acting on the disposal and acquisition of dental practices of all sizes, including deals that involved multiple locations. Eugene has also advised international companies looking to provide dental services in England on the CQC process and their CQC obligations.
Eugene joined us in April 2023 and is based in our Leeds office.

Eugene provided strategic oversight and guidance, helping us to navigate the process with precision and insight. His ability to anticipate challenges and offer practical solutions was invaluable. We can’t thank you enough for your calm and invaluable advice.”

“I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Eugene Pena for all his efforts on our behalf and making a difficult journey as pleasurable as possible. Eugene has always been a calm, steady, dedicated and trusted guide to us throughout this transaction, for which we are truly grateful both professionally and personally. Undoubtedly, you've been keenly supported by Kirsty McKenzie-Hopkins and Bee Gebhardt, who have both contributed to the journey and assisted in making the road less bumpy and to whom we extend our thanks also. As a friend of mine says, there's no 'I' in 'teamwork' — and you have most definitely demonstrated this perfectly. It has been a pleasure and I particularly look forward to the post-completion tasks, knowing that I'm in safe hands.”
