Who is Eric S. Goldman?

Passion

Eric’s clients frequently comment on his passion for the creative process and his dedication to helping creators and innovators surpass their goals and achieve more than they ever dreamed possible.

Values

The core of Eric’s philosophy and approach to rendering legal services is his recognition that the industrial age is over, and that we now live in an innovation economy where “job security” is an oxymoron. The keys to success in this new economy are the abilities to collaborate and improvise. It is no longer sufficient to be a worker drone; the new currency in the workplace is the ability to create new opportunities and new solutions. For those with the ability to adapt, this new economy presents an exciting opportunity to succeed by pursuing their individual visions on their own terms.

For over 30 years, Eric has provided legal services to award-winning talent, and to technology and internet entrepreneurs. His clients thrive in careers that transcend the employer-employee model of wealth creation. In order to help his clients better transition into this post-industrial era, Eric has expanded the services he offers to include mediation and coaching.

Approach

Eric approaches every working relationship as a collaboration. His clients bring their passion for creating the best work they can, and Eric brings his ability to navigate legal challenges, interpersonal conflicts, and professional setbacks.

In truth, Eric has embraced this new economy because it allows him, in fact, requires him, to pursue his passions daily.
