Overview
Erin regularly serves clients as external general counsel, supporting their legal teams and senior stakeholders in operational and strategic functions. She manages a range of time‑sensitive needs while maintaining a clear view of risk and long‑term business objectives. Much of her work centers on commercial contract negotiations, where she develops a deep understanding of each client’s risk profile and applies that lens to drafting, reviewing, and negotiating agreements. She prioritizes clarity, consistency, and usability, with the goal of producing agreements that align with internal processes and reduce friction in execution.
Erin serves Fortune 100, small, and midsize businesses in a wide range of transactions, including procurement and supply arrangements, transportation and logistics agreements, and services agreements tied to complex operations. In addition to negotiating individual deals, Erin builds and refines contract templates and portfolios that clients rely on across their organizations, helping to create more efficient and predictable workflows. Across all of her work, Erin focuses on balancing risk and practicality — identifying key issues, advising on tradeoffs, and helping clients reach outcomes that support both immediate needs and long‑term goals.
In prior roles, Erin advised private equity funds and independent sponsors on M&A and other investment transactions, and counseled clients on corporate governance, fund formation, and other general corporate matters.
Erin is particularly interested in supporting growing businesses and operational teams through pro bono work. She enjoys helping budding entrepreneurs and small businesses navigate the legal demands that arise in the course of scaling and day‑to‑day execution. Most recently, Erin helped the founder of a clothing consignment business draft and negotiate her business contracts.
