Erica Berthou P.C.

Erica Berthou is simply phenomenal. In my career, I've encountered few lawyers who have the dedication, skill, judgment, and work effort that she brings to the table.

Erica Berthou is outstanding lawyer with comprehensive expertise in private equity and mezzanine fund issues. She is also remarkably responsive to client requests, whether they are key fund terms or mundane administrative matters.

Erica Berthou is a tremendous rising star. She knows the market extremely well and is very responsive.

Erica Berthou is as full service of a client service advisor as anyone that I have ever seen. She is effectively available 24 hours a day, and she always meets deadlines. She always exceeds expectations, and I always feel comfortable with her advice. She is a great negotiator, and she knows the line where she can act on our behalf versus needing to understand our conclusions on potential issues. I have never received any complaints, only compliments on her responsiveness and professionalism, including following difficult negotiations with limited partners and opposing deal counsel. Her knowledge of Carlyle and our structures is very strong as well.
