Eric Ferrante is an associate in Nixon Peabody’s Complex Commercial Disputes group. Eric represents public and private companies in federal and state court litigation, arbitration, and mediation.
My practice focuses on achieving results in all types of commercial disputes, including claims related to purchase and sale agreements, distribution and marketing agreements, commercial loans and commercial foreclosures. By developing a nuanced understanding of my clients’ businesses and the industries in which they operate, I work to spot potential issues before they arise and build cost-effective strategies to resolve those disputes that remain unavoidable. I have represented nationally recognized clients in the oil and gas, pharmaceutical, banking, and gaming and entertainment industries in both state and federal courts, as well as before arbitrators and mediators.
As cloud-based storage and other methods of electronically keeping sensitive information become increasingly popular, businesses must be aware of the risks these methods present. I believe attorneys must be able to help clients develop plans to safely retain documents that will protect them should litigation arise without reducing their business efficiency.
