My clients consider me a results-oriented problem solver. I have dedicated my practice to understanding their businesses, protecting their interests and accomplishing their objectives in the most efficient manner possible. I am not only an advocate but also a counselor who is equally dedicated to advising my clients on how to avoid litigation as I am committed to championing a client’s cause in the courtroom.
Eric Partlow regularly represents clients in a wide range of business contexts, including intellectual property, trade secrets, trucking accident defense and other complex commercial litigation matters. Prior to his legal career, Eric worked in the automotive and music industries. He routinely draws upon this diverse background in his practice. Whether fundamentally understanding a product’s design and operation, or easily assimilating a wide variety of businesses and their people, Eric hears from clients that he is uniquely suited for the task.
Eric serves as a member of the firm’s Complex Litigation and Class Action teams. He is admitted in all state and federal courts in Florida as well as the Eleventh Circuit and the Eastern District of Michigan.
As pro bono chair for the firm’s Tampa office, Eric is dedicated to helping the community in which he practices — and helping the other attorneys make a difference as well.
