Eric Singer

I start by listening - I try hard to fully understand my client's objectives before providing an answer. Next, I take a step back and consider problems from multiple contexts: legal, business, and political. In addition to what is written in an RFP or other solicitation document, I consider other applicable legal requirements, including common-law and federal requirements, my client’s business goals and competitive advantages, and the relevant public-policy and political issues of the day. By recognizing and accounting for all of those issues, I can help craft and execute an effective strategy.

My expertise and skill sets permit me to take more of a “soup to nuts” approach than is typical for either a government relations lawyer or a transactional lawyer. Being able to operate outside of most attorneys' comfort zones and understand the whole picture works not only to overcome legal challenges, but also to anticipate and take measures to avoid those challenges before they arise.

I was a research fellow at NYU Law School, where I studied public-private partnerships and government contracting, both on a national and international level. Whenever I am presented with a challenge, I am able to attack the issue with a broad knowledge of how others have successfully dealt with the same issues in the past and in other jurisdictions. That kind of understanding allows me to quickly identify potential problems and solutions and safeguard my clients from future risks in P3 agreements.
