Sullivan & Worcester LLP

Litigation

Erika is a litigator and employment advisor.

Erika represents individual and institutional clients at each stage of the litigation process, from pre-suit negotiations to trial and appeal. She has argued before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit and represented clients at the Supreme Court of the United States. Her litigation experience includes complex, commercial, art, and employment matters.

Erika advises both employers and individuals on employment and other workplace matters. She negotiates employment contracts and separation agreements, prepares incentive compensation plans and workplace policies, and guides clients on legal compliance issues. She collaborates closely with colleagues, particularly those in Sullivan’s tax and corporate departments, to provide solutions from multiple angles.

When Erika helps clients to navigate workplace disputes and fraught separations, she uses her legal knowledge and experience to craft an appropriate strategy for the client’s priorities and goals. An individual client commented, “I wanted to take the time to thank you once again for helping me manage this incredibly stressful event and helping me achieve such a positive outcome. I could not be more grateful. You are patient, strategic, incredibly knowledgeable and such a pleasure to work with.” A corporate client wrote, about Erika and a Sullivan colleague, “We are very grateful for all your wisdom helping us go through this sad, emotional episode. We have ended it all on good terms with the employee in question, and we couldn’t have done that without your amazing help, knowing we as a company would be safe.”

Erika also serves as the co-chair of Sullivan's Women's Initiative.

She is a director of the Harvard Law School Association of Massachusetts, where she has led a mentoring program and coordinated other initiatives. Prior to joining the firm, Erika was an associate at a boutique litigation firm in Boston.
