About Christian
Biography
Christian has extensive experience representing individuals in the prosecution of medically complex personal injury claims arising from medical malpractice, auto accidents, and workplace injuries, and has successfully obtained multi-million dollar recoveries on behalf of injured parties.
Over his career, Christian has also represented a broad range of businesses and commercial enterprises in multiple, hard-fought, complex, and demanding lawsuits, most often involving contract disputes, commercial development and real estate, and commercial torts. Many of these controversies involved claims in the millions to tens of millions in monetary damages and involved technical or specialized subject matter.
Christian studied at Brigham Young University’s J. Reuben Clark School of Law, where he served as senior editor for the BYU Law Review, graduated summa cum laude, and was admitted to the Order of the Coif. Christian has repeatedly been recognized by Utah Business Magazine as one of Utah’s “Legal Elite,” and has authored multiple publications on legal topics.

Christian D. Austin's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I do not know Mr. Austin personally but have reviewed his website and peer endorsements. I do not hesitate to recommend Mr. Austin based on his qualifications, experience and standing in the community."
"I endorse this lawyer. Chris is an excellent lawyer with a fine legal mind. If you have a complicated issue, or an intractable legal problem, you will not find a more capable lawyer in Utah."
"I've been fortunate to work with Christian on several cases as a co-worker, and as a client in my own personal injury case involving a recent car accident. Christian's high integrity and professionalism means he works well with opposing counsel, and can often facilitate a resolution which would not otherwise be possible. His thorough knowledge and years of experience litigating personal injury and medical malpractice cases is hard to find."
"Chris Austin is quite possibly the brightest legal mind I am aware of. Chris is professional, courteous and dedicated to his clients. You simply could not ask for a better legal advocate"
"I have worked with Chris on many projects and have found he is quick to analyze a situation, excellent at preparing court briefs, and consistently creates effective case strategies. I highly recommend his services."
