Eric G. Stockel is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College, with a degree in Ancient History. Mr. Stockel attended Harvard Law School, and graduated magna cum laude in 1988. He has been a member of the California Bar since 1988 and a member of the Bar of the District of Columbia since 1989.
Mr. Stockel initially practiced law in Washington, D.C., with Powell, Goldstein, Frazer & Murphy, in the firm’s advocacy department.

He represented a consortium of cable companies before Congress, monitored international trade law developments for Hitachi, and represented Koyo Seiko Co., Ltd in anti-dumping litigation before the Court of International Trade and the Federal Circuit.
Since 1993, Mr. Stockel has been a civil litigator in Los Angeles, focusing primarily on business disputes, intellectual property and probate litigation. He was co-counsel in Christoff v. Nestle, a landmark right of publicity case that resulted in a jury verdict of $15.6 million in favor of Mr. Stockel’s client, and a 2009 California Supreme Court opinion (47 Cal.4th 468) that redefined the scope of the right of publicity in California.
Mr. Stockel joined Kibre & Horwitz in 2005, where he has worked on a variety of litigation matters at the trial and appellate levels, including published decisions in Estate of Pryor, 177 Cal.App. 4th 1466 (2nd Dist. 2009), rev. denied (Dec. 17, 2009) and Pryor v. Pryor, 177 Cal. App. 4th 1448 (2nd Dist. 2009).
