Eric C. Kim

Eric serves as the artificial intelligence (AI) and knowledge management partner for the firm’s labor and employment practice, in which role he focuses on leveraging technology and firm resources to more efficiently and effectively serve firm clients. Eric also uses his in-depth knowledge of AI to help clients navigate the increasingly complex patchwork of federal, state, and local laws and guidelines for use of AI in employment matters.

Eric has represented clients in a wide variety of industry sectors, including financial services, retail, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, sports, energy, and technology. The cases Eric handles for these clients range from large class and collective actions to single-plaintiff complaints and charges. In addition to his litigation practice, he counsels clients on how to avoid or prepare for litigation and provides practical advice on matters such as wage and hour compliance, pay equity, employee discipline and termination, and employee recruiting and hiring practices. His counseling work includes conducting privileged audits of overtime or independent contractor classifications, as well as working with statisticians to conduct pay and disparate impact analyses. A significant part of Eric’s practice also involves assisting clients with due diligence and risk assessments of employment-related issues arising from transactional matters.

Eric has a strong commitment to pro bono work. He provides pro bono counseling and training on various employment law matters for nonprofit organizations without in-house legal counsel.
