Eryn Schornick is a New York-licensed attorney and investigative strategist working at the intersection of governance, finance, environmental harm, human rights, and institutional accountability.

For more than 15 years, Eryn has led cross-border investigations and advisory work in complex, high-risk environments around the world.

She focuses on situations where corruption, illicit finance, weak governance, environmental harm, and rights impacts overlap in practice — often creating risks that institutions miss, underestimate, or treat too narrowly.

Eryn helps organizations understand where policies, safeguards, or assumptions do not match operational reality, and what can realistically be done to respond.

Her work has contributed to investigations into transnational organized crime and illicit financial flows, the passage of the U.S. Corporate Transparency Act, international anti-corruption and safeguards reform efforts, and financial-sector accountability initiatives related to climate, biodiversity, and human rights risk.

She works in English and Spanish and holds a Juris Doctor and a B.S.B.A. in Finance and International Business.
