Band 4
Eric Shumsky is a particularly strong choice for clients in the technology sector facing appellate disputes before state and federal courts, notably in intellectual property appeals.

Erik is a really gifted oral advocate. He has an organic flow and I know judges appreciate that, it feels like a conversation where they're getting their questions answered.

He is incredibly knowledgeable in the substantive area and he presents well because he stays even-keeled - he is really good at creating the story for the advocacy piece.
