Business & Corporate LawBusiness & Corporate LawAbout Eric Rockefeller
Lenders and other financial institutions rely on Eric Rockefeller at two very different moments: when a corporate or commercial loan is being put in place, and when it has to be recovered. Eric is a partner with Gowling WLG in Hamilton, working within the firm's Financial Institutions & Services Group.
That work runs from structuring financings for lenders to enforcing their security when a borrower falls behind. Eric brings practice automation software to both halves of it, using those tools on loan transactions and on recovery files alike.
Eric's path into this practice started with an honours B.A. from Carleton University, followed by a J.D. from the University of Toronto. Called to the Ontario bar in 2012, Eric became a partner at Gowling WLG effective January 1, 2021, one of 18 new partners the Canadian firm welcomed that day.
