At the time of the announcement he also served as the President of the Columbus Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist society.
Congratulating him on his selection, Lyle Ganske, Midwest Regional partner-in-charge said, "Though Jones Day is truly a global law firm, Ohio is and always will be a substantial part of our DNA, as evidenced by so many talented lawyers serving as the State's solicitor. He has been a star in his time here and we wish him the very best, though we are confident he will be a terrific advocate for the State."
Glen Nager, chair of the issues and appeals practice said,” I've had the privilege of seeing many brilliant young appellate lawyers mature into accomplished advocates trusted with our clients' most significant and precedent-setting cases. Eric has been one of those outstanding examples. Ohio has chosen well.”
Through this selection, Jones Day continues with its precedent of its lawyers playing a leading role in the state government. This announcement is yet another feather in the cap for the world renowned law firm which provides legal advice to more than half of the Fortune Global 500, Fortune 500 and FT Global 500 companies.
