We focus on his commercial real estate practice, highlighting how he supports restaurant clients through lease negotiations, why standardized provisions matter for growth and sale, and how seemingly small terms can affect a company\u2019s long-term strategy. Eric also discusses how he built his leasing practice by working closely with clients over time, how he navigates common points of friction arise with landlords, and what led him and two colleagues to leave a larger firm and start their own during the pandemic. Eric is a graduate of Roger Williams School of Law.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/artwork.captivate.fm\/188e669a-5e30-4799-bcfd-0ab53172bac3\/BYff49w8f7HZ36aeJceSBpjc.jpg"}
