Benesch is pleased to share that Partner J. Erik Connolly has been named a “Stand-Out Lawyer” by Thomson Reuters and will be included in the organization’s database of client-nominated, stand-out attorneys. Only a select group of attorneys nationwide receive this recognition, which, according to Thomson Reuters’ research, is based on ability to improve client satisfaction, increase client advocacy, grow share of wallet, strengthen market position, enhance people engagement and increase profits per partner.
In his role at Benesch, Erik serves as a member of the firm’s Executive Committee, Managing Chair of the Litigation Practice Group and Co-Chair of the Securities Litigation Practice Group. He has represented Fortune 50 banking and financial institutions in securities fraud and other market manipulation cases, as well as Fortune 100 and 500 technology companies in consumer protection, fraud, breach of contract and trade secret cases. Additionally, Erik has represented large, publicly traded consumer product companies and privately held companies that are industry leaders in fields ranging from agriculture to precious metals to wealth management to accounting and auditing. Erik’s breadth of experience allows him to understand business objectives quickly, engage with business leaders on their terms, and give real “answers” instead of “overly conservative legal advice.” Among his most high-profile cases, Erik leads the team representing Smartmatic in its $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit.
