Hugo’s practice spans all areas of chambers’ work, with a particular focus on competition and commercial litigation.  The directories say:

"Immensely smart and hard-working; he leaves no stone unturned" (Chambers & Partners 2021) "A brilliant, versatile lawyer who can turn his hand to almost everything. He has a huge range of practice in commercial law, EU law, competition law and even public law” (Legal 500, 2021) “He doesn't just give the textbook answer but instead offers a practical solution to the problem."  (Chambers & Partners UK & Global 2020)

Hugo is regularly instructed in leading and high-profile cases, including cases in The Lawyer’s Top 20 cases from 2016-2021, grappling with new legal issues and often leading to appeals.  He frequently appears in the High Court, the Competition Appeal Tribunal, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, as well as the General Court of the EU and the Court of Justice of the EU, appearing for private parties, government bodies and NGOs.
