In the employment law area, Eric defends employment discrimination, sexual harassment, wrongful discharge, defamation, wage-hour, ERISA and other types of litigation, in federal and state courts. He has extensive experience in defense of collective and class actions. In the traditional labor law area, Eric handles representation and unfair labor practice cases before the NLRB, collective bargaining and arbitration. Eric also handles construction labor disputes, OSHA inspections and contested cases before state and federal enforcement agencies.

Although representing clients in many fields, Eric has particular expertise in the construction, healthcare, manufacturing, insurance, transportation, local government, wholesale, maritime, real estate, and hospitality industries.

Eric’s recent successes include winning a multi-million dollar arbitration claim concerning the calculation of pension benefits for a major manufacturing company; the negotiation of a concessionary labor contract including a pension reversion for an interstate transportation carrier; and the successful defense, in a jury trial, of allegations of defamation and fraud for an insurance company.

Eric has presented seminars to both business and legal groups on a variety of topics, including discovery in employment discrimination lawsuits, use of expert witnesses in emotional distress claims and compliance with OSHA regulations. He authored "Jury Instructions in a Sexual Harassment Trial." He co-authored Defending Employment Discrimination Charges, and was a contributing author of The Employment Law Deskbook, both of which are published by Matthew Bender. In addition, he is a Contributing Editor of the Maryland and Federal Employment Law Manual, a publication of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce.
