Christopher’s domestic client base consists of start-ups, fashion brands, hotels, restaurants, artists, design professionals, entrepreneurs and established businesses.
His international practice focuses on inbound foreign investment in the United States for individuals, foreign businesses and multi-national corporations.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
Chris is a phenomenal attorney. He has handled matters for many of my clients, including forming businesses, delivering tax advice, and drafting contracts. He goes above and beyond to ensure the client is well informed of the process and completely satisfied with his service. I would definitely recommend him for any international clients in need of legal assistance.
