Professional Methodology

Eric Langston serves as the Chair of the Bankruptcy and Restructuring Practice Group at AEGIS Law, providing a rare intersection of data-driven intelligence and elite legal strategy. His methodology is clinical and technical, developed through over a decade of experience in business law and a foundational seven-year career as a data scientist in the higher education sector. This analytical background allows Eric to navigate complex real estate transactions and bankruptcy proceedings with a level of quantitative precision that is unique in the legal field.

Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Eric has refined his practice at major regional and global firms, including the restructuring group of an elite Chicago-based firm. He specializes in removing structural legal friction for stakeholders in distressed environments—representing debtors, unsecured creditors’ committees, and liquidating trustees. His expertise in fraudulent conveyance actions and bankruptcy motion practice has established him as one of the most sought-after restructuring architects in the Midwest.

High-Stakes Transactional Stewardship

Eric’s transactional depth is characterized by the management of high-value capital flows. He has successfully engineered $40 million asset-based loan facilities for corporate borrowers and negotiated $75 million private equity debt investments. His stewardship extends to complex commercial real estate and the tactical acquisition or disposition of distressed assets, ensuring that corporate governance remains resilient even under extreme market pressure.

Beyond his corporate practice, Eric is a dedicated advocate for pro bono impact litigation. He has partnered with the ACLU to challenge unconstitutional policies and has successfully represented marginalized clients in civil rights and asylum matters.
