From billion-dollar infrastructure projects to complex public works and commercial projects, Chris guides clients through every phase of the construction process—from contract negotiation and risk management to litigation, arbitration, bid protests, and administrative proceedings. His work spans projects involving federal, state, and local government entities, as well as the private sector.

With extensive first-chair trial experience, Chris has a proven record of delivering results successfully in state and federal courts, securing favorable arbitration awards, and arguing before appellate courts. He regularly navigates multi-million-dollar claims involving delay, acceleration, construction defects, scope changes, payment disputes, and performance guarantees, often on projects exceeding $1 billion in value.
