Eric Weiss Quoted in Law360—Rising Star: Perkins Coie's Eric Weiss

Eric Weiss quoted in "Rising Star: Perkins Coie's Eric Weiss," an article in Law360* regarding his notable work and success defending large corporations.

"What I've seen overwhelmingly is that businesses are trying to do the right thing," Eric Weiss said. "They're filled with good people who are talented at their jobs. They are innovating, testing, improving, and really bringing amazing new products and services to the market that materially improve our lives. And I like to help them in that endeavor."

Eric said some plaintiffs attorneys have been very zealous in filing proposed class actions "at even a hint of a potential business error," even if there hasn't been a lot of work done to vet the suits or examine their merits.

"For every one of those, it's expensive, it's time-consuming and it is distracting for the people operating these businesses, which leads to increased consumer prices, lower quality of products and services because their attention is drawn elsewhere," Eric said.
