Eric Nanfito

Eric is a Shareholder in the Corporate and Business Transactions Practice, with the majority of his practice dedicated to the Complex Contracting & Technology team. He advises business clients through all stages of the contract process and has extensive experience with contract drafting, review, negotiation, management, and administration.

Recognizing the needs of clients to increase revenue, mitigate risk, and protect intellectual property and business interests, Eric provides thoughtful and meticulous counsel to help improve and safeguard clients’ business operations across a wide range of industries. Eric’s goal is to develop a deep understanding of each client’s business in order to address the key commercial concerns and risks unique to their particular product, service, and industry.

Representing both customers and providers, he regularly works with a broad range of commercial contracts, including:

• Supply chain and services agreements such as terms of purchase/sale, manufacturing, supply and distribution agreements, joint development agreements, consulting, subcontractor and independent contractor agreements and equipment purchase agreements; and
• Technology agreements such as software as a service (SaaS), end user license agreements, software license agreements, software development agreements and maintenance/support agreements.

Because technology transactions frequently involve the sharing and transfer of personal information, Eric is a member of the cybersecurity and data privacy team and assists clients with compliance, disclosures, privacy policies, and data protection agreements. In addition, Eric frequently supports the firm’s M&A deal teams, advising and assisting in the areas of due diligence, drafting, negotiation, and regulatory compliance processes.

Prior to joining Maynard, Eric was in private practice for ten years in Omaha, Nebraska. Eric earned his J.D. with a concentration in corporate and commercial law from the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law in New York City, and he holds a B.A. in international studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. While in college, he studied abroad for two semesters at Nanzan University in Nagoya, Japan.
