Biography

Chris is a member of Keller Rohrback’s Complex Litigation and Bankruptcy Groups.

He has represented debtors, creditors, Court-appointed committees, and asset purchasers in Chapter 11 reorganization proceedings and workouts. In recent years he has also focused on representing plaintiffs in ERISA class actions. Chris has wide-ranging experience in complex commercial matters, from corporate restructuring to breach of fiduciary duty, commercial real estate, contracts, patent infringement, and environmental insurance coverage.

Together with colleagues, Chris has represented clients as diverse as pension plan participants in class actions challenging their employers’ asserted exemption from ERISA, the committee of victims of clergy sexual abuse in the Chapter 11 reorganization of a Catholic diocese, an American Indian business corporation in a commercial dispute, and a developer restructuring a portfolio of real property interests nationwide.

A graduate of the Great Books liberal arts program at St. John’s College in Santa Fe, Chris earned his law degree from the University of New Mexico Law School magna cum laude in 1990. While his practice is centered in the Southwest, Chris represents clients in federal courts coast to coast.
