Biography

Eric Hone is a trial lawyer and co-founder of Hone Law, a Henderson, Nevada litigation firm focused on complex business disputes, trials, and appeals. Since co-founding the firm in 2018, Eric has helped grow Hone Law through a trial-focused approach that emphasizes preparation, strategic advocacy, and efficient dispute resolution. Eric and the firm have been recognized by Chambers USA for their work in commercial litigation and related matters.

Eric represents plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal courts, arbitration proceedings, and appellate matters across a wide range of industries. His practice includes Appellate Practice, Commercial Litigation, Construction Law, and Litigation - Real Estate. He regularly handles disputes involving construction and development projects, partnership and shareholder conflicts, franchise litigation, intellectual property issues, trade secret and non-compete claims, director and officer liability, alter ego and successor liability, defamation and business disparagement, licensing disputes, and sports and entertainment matters.

Known for bringing a trial lawyer’s perspective to every stage of litigation, Eric approaches each matter with an emphasis on courtroom readiness and strategic positioning. He has substantial experience trying cases, handling evidentiary hearings, prevailing on dispositive motions, and resolving disputes through arbitration and negotiated settlements. Clients include multinational corporations, developers, construction companies, universities, municipalities, entrepreneurs, investors, professional athletes, and closely held businesses.

Eric’s litigation experience includes representing clients in high-stakes and business-critical disputes throughout Nevada and in jurisdictions nationwide. His work often involves managing complex factual and legal issues while coordinating litigation strategy across multiple parties and forums. Clients turn to Hone Law for practical guidance, responsive communication, and a disciplined approach to litigation and trial preparation.

One memorable moment in Eric’s career came after securing a preliminary injunction for a client in a trademark dispute based entirely on written briefing, which resulted in receiving a UFC championship belt from Dana White. While the stories from litigation can be memorable, Eric is most focused on helping clients solve difficult legal problems and navigate challenging disputes with clarity and strategic direction.

Outside of his legal practice, Eric enjoys spending time with his family and pursuing endurance sports, including cycling, mountain biking, and snowboarding. He also enjoys time with his dog, Trajan, and desert tortoise, Milo.
