My name is Eric Reed

I’m a freelance journalist and attorney. My work has appeared in outlets including The Street, The Boston Globe, CNBC, Glassdoor, Consumer Reports, the Detroit Free Press, the Philadelphia Inquirer, CBS News, MSN, and AOL, and I  have reported from environments as diverse as Cambodia, Brazil and San Juan.

Much of my reporting deals with policy and political economics, along with issues in global development. I specialize in storytelling and complex analysis, addressing difficult subjects in clear, engaging prose that focuses on the human side of the issue.

I studied law at the University of Michigan and was previously a litigator with Dechert, LLP, where I specialized in advocacy and motion practice. In addition to media outlets I work with private clients, helping them to hone their message and develop smart, industry-leading voices.
