About The Lecturer
Erin Meyer focuses her practice on high-stakes, complex litigation, including bet-the-company commercial disputes, cutting-edge intellectual property matters, and challenging employment and consumer class actions. Whether representing a Fortune 500 company or a technology startup, Erin specializes in finding creative and efficient ways to help her clients solve their most difficult legal problems.
Erin is a skilled trial lawyer with experience serving as lead counsel on large trial teams. Recently, she obtained a complete defense judgment for Sutter Health in a qui tam action following a seven-week trial; three months later, she secured a defense verdict from a Santa Clara jury in a highly technical fraud case where the plaintiff sought more than $1 billion in damages. Erin’s trial experience runs the gamut: She has successfully defended public companies in multi-patent jury trials as well as rare class-action trials. Although Erin is a trial lawyer at heart, she also has a proven track record of resolving or limiting cases through pre-trial motion practice and is a fierce oral advocate for her clients.
From start to finish, Erin works to understand the ins and outs of her clients’ businesses to come up with a litigation strategy that is tailored to their needs. She particularly enjoys cases with novel and cutting-edge legal issues; for example, over the last decade Erin has been centrally involved in crafting defense strategies for “sharing economy” companies and digital currency businesses.
Erin is also deeply committed to her pro bono practice. She serves on the board of Legal Services for Children and is a member of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights in the Bay Area. Early in her career, as a legal aid attorney, she represented individuals seeking asylum in the United States. Erin has continued that work at Keker, obtaining immigration relief for women and children fleeing abuse and persecution.
