Eric D. Carlson works with automotive and other manufacturers to develop strategies to protect just-in-time supplies of component parts produced by financially distressed or bankrupt suppliers, thereby avoiding costly production interruptions. In commercial transactions, he counsels buyers and sellers on developing and negotiating the terms and conditions of supply contracts and purchase orders. Eric also represents clients in commercial litigation, preference actions, fraudulent transfer actions and other bankruptcy litigation.
“Bankruptcy is a very foreign concept to most clients, and they need both an advocate and a counselor. I learn my clients’ needs and goals, educate them about their options and then focus on solving their problems and finding creative ways to resolve disputes.”

Experience
Eric has extensive experience representing debtors, customers, suppliers and lenders in commercial bankruptcy and reorganization proceedings, financial restructurings, liquidations and out-of-court workouts. He regularly works with an original equipment manufacturer to protect their supply.
“I helped this client minimize extraordinary costs while at the same time maintaining continuity of production and supply stabilization. Each distressed supplier situation presents unique circumstances and facts and requires creative solutions.”
