Chris’ practice spans commercial litigation, corporate transactions, real estate, and creator law. He brings a diverse legal background to clients operating at the crossroads of business, technology, and the digital economy.
Before joining the firm, Chris practiced in the commercial litigation department of a national law firm, where he built a substantial courtroom presence — including first-chair jury trial experience and more than 70 in-court appearances across a range of business disputes. He also served as an intern with the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York, where he worked on cybersecurity and counter-terrorism matters, and interned at the Syracuse Innovation Law Center, advising on intellectual property issues — including medical device development — and guiding clients through complex regulatory frameworks, including FDA compliance.
Chris earned his J.D. from Boston College Law School in 2023 and his B.A. in Political Science from Le Moyne College in 2020, where he was awarded the Myrtle G. Derschug Medal for First Year Social Sciences. He is admitted to practice in New York State and in all four federal districts of New York — the Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western Districts.
A native of Skaneateles and a current Syracuse resident, Chris is proud to build his practice in the region where he grew up.
