• DEI audits to identify risks and opportunities

Next-Level Employee/Supervisor Training

When training is at the top of most employers’ lists, they contact Eric. The EEOC has approved him to train everyone from frontline workers to the C-Suite. He’s testified before the Philadelphia City Council and Pennsylvania House Labor Committee on workplace harassment and has presented six times at the EEOC’s EXCEL Conference, the national benchmark for EEO training.

If your team needs custom, legally grounded training with just enough sarcasm to stay awake—Eric’s your guy.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (Mediation and Arbitration)

Eric serves as an arbitrator and full-time employment law mediator, trusted by both sides of the “v.” to resolve high-stakes disputes. He mediates through the EEOC, federal courts, and directly with parties who want experience, efficiency, and pragmatism.

Serving the C-Suite

Whether you’re hiring, parting ways, or selling the business, Eric helps executives and employers make savvy employment decisions. He was the lead employment partner of the global team managing the $250 Million sale of PFSweb’s LiveArea business. He also negotiates executive agreements and severance packages that are both aggressive and practical.

When things end badly, Eric helps exiting execs maximize value and peace of mind. His creative fee arrangements turn end-of-employment stress into strategy.

And yes — Eric litigates.

Is water wet? Eric is a trial-tested litigator who defends businesses in every flavor of employment claim: ADA, ADEA, CEPA, FMLA, FLSA, NJLAD, PHRA, Title VII, USERRA—you name it. He earned the first defense verdict in over a decade from a federal civil jury in Easton, PA in any case, employment or otherwise.

In case you are wondering, Eric does sleep.

Just not much.
