His term, as well as the term of the other members of the leadership team elected at the same time, will be for a two year period. 

David Tang, K&L Gates’ Managing Partner, Asia, commented: “Eric is a seasoned, astute and respected lawyer who understands the legal market dynamics and challenges for international law firms in Korea. All international law firms will benefit from his leadership and experience in his new role, an achievement for which we are both grateful and proud.”
