Eric Hutner

Background

About Eric Hutner

Prior to forming Hutner Klarish, Eric spent nine years at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, a leading U.S. law firm, seven years as Assistant General Counsel and then General Counsel of two NASD/FINRA-member firms, and in returned to private practice when he founded Eric S. Hutner & Associates. These varied professional experiences have enabled Eric to take on the many roles of a classic councilor, and more, as he draws on his diverse legal experiences every day on behalf of a wide variety of clients. He has extensive experience litigating in federal and state courts, though he prefers finding solutions that preclude the need for full-blown litigation whenever possible. He has represented broker-dealers and their employees in over 100 securities industry arbitrations and in regulatory matters before the SEC, NASD, and other self-regulatory and regulatory bodies. Eric also serves from time-to-time as a FINRA / NASD arbitrator, not only to give something back, but so that he will better understand how to do his real job of representing clients in such matters. Eric regularly provides advice and counsel to corporate clients by analyzing the legal implications and needs of their business activities. One day it may be a private financing transaction, the next day it is the everyday general legal problems a company must address, and the day after that it is helping prepare for a corporate board of directors meeting.
