Eric North

Eric North has represented the interests of credit unions as an attorney for more than twenty years. A shareholder with the law firm of Moore Brewer Jones Tyler and North, with offices in Southern California, Northern California, and Texas, Eric is licensed to practice before state and federal courts in California and before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Eric, like the other attorneys at his firm, devotes his legal practice to the representation of credit unions in matters relating to litigation and compliance. He regularly litigates cases in federal and state courts, and has appeared before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but he also counsels credit unions in ways to avoid litigation. Prior to becoming an attorney, Eric worked within the consumer finance industry in management, and in lending, collections, and operations departments.

In addition to maintaining a legal practice, working in cooperation with the NorthWest Credit Union Collectors Association, other state and local credit union leagues and associations, and CUNA, Eric has helped train thousands of credit union employees and lawyers from across the country to learn, comply with, and understand the many state and federal laws that govern them through local seminars, monthly NorthLegal Webinars, and annual NorthLegal Conferences. Eric and his firm also sponsor CULAW.COM, an Internet site providing credit unions with links to legal resources and to a list of upcoming educational programs.
