Greg Bargeton

In 2020, Greg set up a legal and business consultancy called The Emerson Partnership. Through this, Greg aims to take his experience as an inhouse lawyer and provide pragmatic, accessible legal advice in a dynamic, creative and collaborative way. Recently, Greg has supported the development of a new legal function at Ooni Limited and been working with a range of clients in the UK, EU and US. Between 2010 and 2020, Greg was General Counsel at William Grant & Sons. Working with a dedicated legal team, he managed all the legal issues typical of a fast paced, brand-led, international business. Prior to that, Greg worked for Carlsberg Breweries in Copenhagen and as a lawyer (and, briefly, as a commercial sales director!) at Scottish & Newcastle plc. He began his legal career working in the London and Hong Kong offices of leading international law firm, Freshfields. Greg has an MA in English and Modern History from the University of St Andrews, CPE and LPC qualifications from The College of Law and a Diploma in EU Competition Law from King’s College, London. He is a member of the Advisory Board of Facework Group CIC.
