Eugene restricts his practice to insurance defence litigation, involving primarily property claims such as fuel oil tank failures, heavy equipment and component failures and fire loss litigation. He also defends municipalities in a wide variety of situations including flood claims, allegations of negligent police investigation and building inspection, and a variety of personal injury matters.

His wide range of litigation experience has led to his appearance as trial and appeal counsel before all levels of court in Ontario, including the Divisional Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal.
