NEW JERSEY – April 2, 2025 – Global law firm Greenberg Traurig, LLP has expanded its Litigation and White Collar Defense & Investigations practices with the addition of Eric W. Moran as a shareholder in the New Jersey and New York offices. He joins the firm from Epstein Becker Green.
Moran, a former federal prosecutor who advises companies and executives in complex civil and criminal matters, brings deep experience as a trial lawyer and in other litigation matters. He focuses on serving clients in a wide range of industries, including financial services, health care, consumer products, and government contracting, as well as False Claims Act issues.
“We are pleased to welcome Eric, who has worked closely with several Greenberg Traurig lawyers on matters over the years. We know firsthand that the dedication and high-caliber counsel he brings to each matter will reflect Greenberg Traurig’s standards for exceptional client service,” New Jersey office Co-Managing Shareholders David Jay and David W. Oppenheim said in a joint statement. “His proven track record and well-earned reputation for excellence in litigation, trial, and white collar representations are an ideal fit with our team.”
“With Eric joining the firm, we are adding depth to both our bench of trial and white collar attorneys, enabling us to answer significant client demand with impressive legal talent,” Co-Chair of the firm’s Global Litigation Practice and Founding Chair of the New Jersey office Philip R. Sellinger and Vice Chair of the firm and Chair of the New York Litigation Practice Richard A. Edlin said in a joint statement. “He joins Greenberg Traurig’s more than 60-member team of former federal and state prosecutors.”
Prior to Moran’s six-plus years as a member of the firm Epstein Becker Green, where he served on the National Litigation Steering Committee, Moran spent a decade as an assistant U.S. attorney for New Jersey, rising to chief of the Criminal Division – South and serving as deputy chief of the Criminal Division as well as attorney-in-charge of the Trenton Branch Office. He handled white collar matters, including health care and securities fraud and money laundering. As part of the Special Prosecutions Division, he also handled corruption cases, including high-profile trials.
“Greenberg Traurig’s global platform of highly skilled attorneys is the best environment for me to serve my clients holistically and for me to grow my practice,” Moran said. “I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues across the firm to provide clients with business-focused legal counsel derived from an in-depth understanding of their companies and the laws that affect them.”
Moran was selected as a fellow of the prestigious American College of Trial Lawyers in 2022, and for the past eight years has served as an adjunct professor teaching white collar crime-related courses at Rutgers Law School in Camden. He also has been listed in the Chambers USA Guide for Litigation: White Collar Crime & Government Investigations as a “Leader in Their Field” from 2022-2024, and in The Legal 500 United States for Labor & Employment Disputes: Defense in 2019.
