Eric D. Kuhn Email and Phone Number

I primarily represent European family and private equity fund owned middle-market companies in their entry and activities in the United States (often the reference market for the client’s sector). I also work with family offices and private clients on inbound investments into the US.In my practice, I often acts as:(1) “outside general counsel” throughout the business life cycle—e.g., entity formation, shareholder and LLC operating agreements, internal governance and employment matters, commercial arrangements with third parties (manufacturing, distribution, license and confidentiality agreements), real estate, and litigation and dispute resolution matters; and/or(2) “deal counsel” on mid-market M&A, joint venture, financing and other corporate transactions throughout the US, including: (i) tax/deal structuring; (ii) LOIs, non-disclosure agreements and other preliminary deal documentation; (iii) legal due diligence; and (iv) preparation and negotiation of transaction documentation (e.g., asset and stock/equity purchase agreements, operating agreements for LLC-based transactions, management and employment arrangements, and escrow, transition service, leases, and other ancillary agreements).I work closely with the owners and top management at my clients, establishing long term relationships as trusted advisor in the US. In this role, I bring substantial knowledge of the legal system and business culture of civil law jurisdictions, allowing me to explain how US law and business practice differ from those in the clients’ home countries. I joined Becker Glynn in 2012, after having practiced for over a decade at major U.S. international law firms, including five years as resident of those firms’ Italian (Rome and Milan) offices. I have lived and worked in Latin America (Mexico and Argentina), hold dual Italian and US nationalities, and am fluent in Spanish and Italian.
