Here’s why you’ll enjoy working with him.

Having served as lead counsel to multi-national organizations on major M&A transactions, fledgling startups looking to raise capital, and countless other companies on virtually every matter in between, Chris has the experience and insight that runs the gamut of business law. His sharp business acumen and superior negotiating skills have enabled Chris to build his legal practice from the ground up to the highest level—all while keeping the facts straightforward and plainspoken.

Even when the business road gets rocky, Chris’s focus never wavers from providing the most strategic, practical counsel to every client, every time. His ability to streamline complicated business deals into a measured process can turn even the most daunting transaction into a smooth enterprise. Chris has been listed as a SuperLawyers Rising Star from 2014-2017 and holds a distinguished rating from Martindale-Hubbell.

But that’s not all. Chris is also very experienced in:

  • Energy products trading and distribution
  • Representing craft breweries
  • Startup law and finance
  • Outdoor risk management
  • Business immigration

In his former life, Chris was:

  • A shareholder and director at another Portland law firm

When Chris isn’t working, he is…

Avidly exploring New England’s mountains and outdoor spaces, and his enthusiasm has led him to seek bigger challenges, like running across the Grand Canyon and back in a day and summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro.
