Practice Areas

Eric Corngold, co-head of Friedman Kaplan’s white collar practice, is well known for his work guiding and defending companies through regulatory and criminal investigations and enforcement matters. Prior to joining Friedman Kaplan in 2010, Eric built a tremendous reputation as a public prosecutor in New York. Today, he puts the insight into the enforcement perspective that he gained through twenty years of public service to work representing businesses, their executives, and their employees during federal and state criminal investigations, as well as in regulatory matters involving the Securities and Exchange Commission, New York Attorney General’s Office, and other federal and state government agencies. He also conducts internal investigations for corporations and other institutions on behalf of officers, boards of directors, and audit committees.

Career

Eric’s recent notable work includes representing the New Jersey Economic Development Authority in connection with the major multi-year investigation conducted by a task force appointed by Governor Phil Murphy pertaining to the EDA’s internal administration of certain state tax incentive programs, including whether $11 billion worth of tax credits awarded to corporations doing business in New Jersey resulted in true value to the state and its residents.

He also represented the owner and operator of a number of online platforms in a sprawling, multi-year investigation conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York involving one of the most visited websites in the world. Eric and Friedman Kaplan achieved an extremely favorable resolution resulting in no criminal charges being brought against the client and helped it implement state-of-the-art compliance programs, internal controls, and other important trust and safety measures.
