Eric Beste, partner-in-charge of the firm’s San Diego office, was named to the San Diego Business Journal’s San Diego 500 list, which features the most influential people in San Diego.
Beste, who was included in the list in the law section, focuses his practice on white collar criminal defense, internal investigations and compliance matters, and complex business litigation. A former federal prosecutor, he provides experienced counsel to clients seeking to mitigate the risks inherent in the modern business world.
Beste’s work with the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law was highlighted in the publication. He and the law school launched the partnership to offer pro bono opportunities to law students, who worked with nonprofits through the Stand Together Initiative and Koch Pro Bono Initiative.
