Areas of Focus

Overview

Erica Schultz is an associate in Crowell’s Health Care Group. She represents leading managed care organizations in complex commercial disputes, with a focus on resolving high-stakes litigation. She assists payors in matters involving contract disputes, reimbursement issues, and claims arising under state and federal law. Her practice spans every stage of litigation, including drafting appellate and dispositive briefs, managing discovery, arguing motions in state and federal court, and second-chairing witnesses at trial.

Erica brings a rare combination of analytical precision, strategic foresight, and unwavering client focus to each matter. Her experience clerking for Chief Judge Patrick J. Schiltz in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota sharpened her understanding of courtroom dynamics and judicial decision-making—insights she now applies to develop persuasive, results-oriented advocacy for her clients.
