Eric Anderson passed away in May 2024. Eric will be remembered as the go-to attorney for banks and other creditors dealing with problem loans. Eric helped lenders negotiate workouts and financial restructurings throughout his career, both in and out of bankruptcy. His creative, client-focused approach ensured that creditors were in the best possible position to achieve their business objectives.

A seasoned bankruptcy professional, Eric helped banks, trustees, investors and other parties in bankruptcy and financial restructuring matters. Deeply knowledgeable in all aspects of bankruptcy and threatened bankruptcy, he was able to guide his clients to the optimal solution, be it a negotiated solution pre-bankruptcy or maximization of recovery within bankruptcy itself.

Eric was passionate about ensuring that his clients obtained the best possible outcome. His deep background in restructuring helped him ensure that his clients could, to the greatest extent possible, drive their agenda rather than simply respond to the actions of other parties. Proactive and business-focused, Eric helped his clients navigate the reality of restructuring with a minimum of disruption.

A former member of the American Bankruptcy Institute Board of Directors and frequent speaker for national groups of bankruptcy attorneys and judges, Eric’s creativity and leadership in the field was always evident. In 2024, Eric Anderson was awarded the 2024 David W. Pollard Award by the Atlanta Bar Association Bankruptcy Section. This award is bestowed upon a member of the Atlanta Bar who exemplifies the highest standards of professionalism and ethics in the bankruptcy practice and has become a prestigious lifetime achievement award.
