Ghiurco qualified as a lawyer in Spain, focusing on intellectual property and working for a major worldwide music corporation before moving to the UK.  
 
With more than eight years’ experience, McGregor focuses on dispute resolution and advises a range of clients, including sportsmen and women, agents, clubs, governing bodies and associations, on matters concerning sports-related commercial disputes, arbitration, tribunal proceedings and sport-specific rules and regulations. He joins from DWF.

Nik White, partner and head of commercial and IP at Brabners, said: “We are continuing to invest in talent and together Victoria, Ioana and Andrew offer specialist knowledge and sector expertise that will strengthen the teams’ capabilities.

“Not only will this help us to deliver the highest-quality service to clients, it puts us in a strong position to drive future growth in a rapidly changing business environment.”
