Chambers USA has recognized Eric as a leading practitioner for Litigation: White Collar Crime & Government Investigations, where clients describe him as “fearless in the courtroom” and worthy of “any complex or sophisticated matter.” Whether leading an internal investigation of alleged employee malfeasance, strategizing a demand letter response, or interfacing with the Department of Justice on a grand jury subpoena, Eric views each matter through the lens of trial.
