Eric P. Magnuson is a business litigator who co-chairs Nutter’s Business Litigation Practice Group. He has more than 25 years of litigation experience, focusing on complex commercial, class-action, and fiduciary disputes.

Clients rely on his judgment and steady leadership in high-stakes matters where sound analysis and strategic insight converge to shape outcomes. He served as Executive Note Editor of the Arizona Law Review.

Complexity is the common denominator of Eric’s practice. He has litigated cases involving an array of allegations, including (among many others) bank fraud, unfair competition, tortious conduct, contractual breach, unfair insurance practices, infringement of constitutional rights, negligent product design, violations of export-import laws, infringement of intellectual property, and breaches of data privacy laws. Eric has also litigated bankruptcy matters, and he has served as a Special Assistant Attorney General.

Eric’s skillset goes beyond the direct sphere of litigation. Clients regularly rely on Eric’s expertise when negotiating the “front end” of business deals, including mergers and acquisitions. Eric also spearheads internal investigations on behalf of financial institutions and other clients. As a member of Nutter’s Privacy and Data Security practice group, Eric helps clients respond to data breaches and network intrusions.
