Eric F. Saunders

Here’s why you’ll enjoy working with him.

Eric brings a refreshing and astonishing breadth of legal experience: He’s worked on appellate litigation, municipal law, ERISA, securities law, tax law, corporate and partnership law, health care law, and housing law. After more than 40 years of practice, there’s essentially no problem that Eric can’t dissect and solve.

At Bernstein Shur, Eric focuses on counseling businesses on everything from governance to executive compensation. He is also a dedicated member of the firm’s health care practice, for which he covers both the regulatory and transactional aspects, including mergers and acquisitions.

But that’s not all. Eric is also very experienced in:

• Representing clients in acquiring limited partner interests in mature limited partnerships
• Corporate takeover battles involving Maine-based public companies
• Working with hospitals, physicians (individuals and group practices), dentists, denturists, physical therapists, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, pharmacy chains, and drug treatment programs
• Resolving shareholder and partnership disputes
• Syndicating real estate projects, including federally subsidized housing projects
• Individual and class action lawsuits against general partners who have breached fiduciary duties through self-dealing and other improper acts

In his former life, Eric was:

• Part of a family business, where he worked a variety of jobs: He’s sawed logs, performed cost studies, and evaluated talent for promotion
• A poverty worker in Appalachia
