She provides proactive and strategic legal counsel in eDiscovery and Information Law matters, including advising clients on the development and execution of defensible eDiscovery processes crucial for navigating contentious, high-stakes litigation.

She has served as lead counsel in jury and bench trials in both federal and state courts, and her trial work includes delivering opening statements, handling witness examinations, presenting and defending expert witnesses, and presenting trial motions. Erica oversees case strategy and all aspects of discovery coordination and trial preparation, including negotiating pre-trial case management orders addressing discovery issues, preparing and defending corporate representatives for testimony in connection with 30(b)(6) depositions on discovery issues, motion practice regarding discovery disputes, and supervising the identification, collection, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI).

Erica’s experience developing efficient eDiscovery and information governance solutions related to records retention and challenges posed by emerging technologies allows her to craft targeted strategies that address clients’ specific and complex business needs and information technology environments.
