Ice Miller LLP is proud to announce that Eric Yoon has joined the firm’s Philadelphia office as a Partner in our Litigation Group. Yoon brings more than a decade of experience deepening the firm's litigation capabilities across the East Coast and expands its reach into international markets. His arrival reinforces the firm’s strategic growth in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions and its commitment to delivering sophisticated, right-sized legal counsel to mid-market clients.

At Ice Miller, Yoon will focus on expanding the firm's commercial litigation and international arbitration capabilities, with a particular emphasis on cross-border matters involving Korean companies. His client base spans real estate, aviation, financial services, pharmaceuticals, technology, manufacturing, and transportation. Yoon joins a growing litigation team and Asian-Pacific practice, that includes partner TaeSoo Sean Kim, whose established Korean-market relationships support our continued growth.

"Eric is a part of our continued national growth strategy. He strengthens our Philadelphia footprint and extends our reach into international and Korean-market matters," said Joshua L. Christie, Ice Miller’s chief managing partner. "His international arbitration experience, nimble and client-first approach, and ability to serve companies operating across borders align perfectly with Ice Miller's commitment to delivering practical, results-driven counsel to clients wherever they do business."

Yoon has successfully represented Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 financial services companies, as well as midsize and boutique finance firms nationwide. His experience includes mortgage servicing, financial technology, banking, and nonbank lending sectors. He has defended clients in class action lawsuits and mass tort actions involving consumer fraud, false advertising, and product liability claims, and has served as both outside counsel and in-house legal advisor for financial services companies.

“We are excited to have Eric join our litigation group,” said George Gasper, chair of Ice Miller’s Litigation Group. “His knowledge of international arbitration, combined with deep fluency in Korean-market matters, gives our clients access to a level of cross-border sophistication that is increasingly essential in today's global business environment.”

Among his notable matters, Yoon has represented a major U.S. high-tech electronics manufacturing and digital media company before the Federal Maritime Commission on U.S. Shipping Act violation claims and represented a South Korean submarine fiber optic and power cable company in international arbitration involving an offshore wind power plant investment. He has also handled significant antitrust litigation, including defense of a dental supply company in private and public antitrust actions before the Federal Trade Commission.

"What drew me to Ice Miller was their clear vision for commercial litigation along the East Coast and their genuine commitment to serving mid-market clients at the level they deserve,” said Yoon. "Ice Miller gives me the platform, the collaborative culture, and the flexibility to serve those clients well, grow the Korean-market practice alongside Sean Kim and our team, and contribute to something that is still being built. That is an exciting place to be."

Yoon is fluent in Korean and regularly assists Korean companies operating in the United States, as well as clients navigating foreign country judgment recognition and enforcement. He is admitted to practice in New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, and before the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, the District of New Jersey, and the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio.

He formerly served as Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association's Business Litigation General Committee of the Tort Trial & Insurance Practice Section (TIPS), was a Board Member of Community Legal Services of Philadelphia, and an active member of the Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Pennsylvania and the Korean American Lawyers Association of Greater New York.

Yoon earned his J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and his B.A., cum laude, from Colgate University.
