Chris has significant experience in complex commercial litigation matters including breach of contract, business torts, partnership disputes, employment disputes, and compensation and restrictive covenant disputes. Chris has represented numerous companies and individuals in courts throughout the country. Chris provides the perspective he has gained as an experienced private practitioner, as well as skills he acquired as a former Visiting Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Illinois, where he taught torts and products liability. He is co-editor of the American Bar Association's Section of Litigation Alternative Dispute Resolution website. Chris understands that being an effective litigator and counselor ultimately is about finding the right solutions for each unique situation. Sometimes it means tenacious litigation from the trial court to appeal. Other times it means making a few telephone calls to solve a problem before it spirals out of control. Whatever the situation, he believes each client deserves a committed ally who will fight to make a positive difference for them.
As an experienced litigator and counselor, I believe that my job ultimately is about solving my client's problem -- or helping my client to avoid problems in the first place. My responsibilities include handling all aspects of client representation -- from beginning to end.
