Many people ask what "Adama" means. The name draws on three languages: the Hebrew adamah and the Arabic adīm, words for the earth and the ground beneath us, and the Greek adamas, meaning unconquerable. The practice is built the same way, grounded in preparation and unyielding under pressure.
Erich holds a J.D. from the S.J. Quinney College of Law, a Global Executive MBA from INSEAD, and a B.A. in Mathematical Economics from Pomona College. Erich has been recognized by Best Lawyers as "One to Watch" in the practice area of Commercial Litigation.
