Chambers notes Eric as having “much more than just a conversational grasp of the language, but the ability to conduct interviews on specific subject matter details and get to the root of the issues." Chambers further notes that "his language skills are very impressive" and that he provides "great advice that is grounded in reality," adding: "They know the industry and their advice is very risk-based and balanced." One client noted to Chambers: "They have strong regional coverage both in terms of footprint as well as language skills. If I have a compliance investigation in region with a tight timeframe, I know they can get it done. They take a more realistic approach to scoping investigations." Other clients noted to Chambers that Eric is "really brilliant" and "an expert in this field." According to one client surveyed by Chambers, "he is particularly adept at 'right sizing' the scope of an investigation to get at the key issues without incurring unnecessary operational or financial burden. He is also incredibly responsive to client communications."
