Practice Areas

Eric advises corporations on a broad array of transactions, including business combinations, acquisitions and divestitures, spin-offs and split-offs, and capital raises. He also advises generally on matters of corporate governance.

A major focus of his practice is representing public companies in M&A transactions as well as special committees of independent directors in considering transactions involving potential conflicts of interest. With nearly two decades of experience, Eric has led the Morris Nichols team on some of the firm’s largest and most complex special committee representations, including several involving controlling stockholder take-private transactions.

He has repeatedly served on drafting committees of the Delaware State Bar Association’s Council of the Corporation Law Section, including as a lead drafter of legislation that ultimately became Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which facilitated and led to an increase in the use of two-step mergers.
