Megan Curzon

As an associate in London's Dispute Resolution department, I have gained experience across a variety of contentious matters.

I have worked for clients based in the UK and overseas in relation to disputes across a range of sectors. I have experience dealing with matters in the domestic courts, in addition to international arbitration proceedings and alternative dispute resolution.

As a junior associate, I have a broad practice area covering a range of the firm's sector groups. Matters I have worked on include those in the media, entertainment and sport, aviation, life sciences, and energy & utilities sectors.

My scientific background (pharmacology) lends itself to a technical understanding of life sciences and healthcare products, and also provides me with an analytical approach to issues that arise for clients.

I advise on a variety of contentious issues and my experience includes work on disputes relating to commercial contracts, consumer complaints and allegations of fraud. I also work with clients on compliance issues arising from legislation such as the Bribery Act.

During my training contract I went on secondment to an international bank, which provided me with an insight into some of the challenges faced by large organisations, and an understanding of the practical steps that can be taken to mitigate and resolve potential disputes.

In addition to my fee-earning work, I am a pro-bono volunteer at the South Westminster Legal Advice Centre, where I provide advice relating to a range of disputes. I am also a member of the firm's Environment Committee.
