Christopher Jon Gawley's Lawyer Endorsements
Elizabeth Baird
Financial markets and services lawyer | Apr 13
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"Chris is a talented, thoughtful, intelligent lawyer. He possesses strong analytical skills as well as a great intellectual capacity to understand very complicated regulatory regimes. Chris is also a great person and a pleasure to work with!"
"I first had the opportunity to meet Chris in the context of a securities litigation where we each represented one of the co-defendants and needed to work together to develop a joint-defense strategy, ultimately resolving the matter on grounds favorable to both of our clients. I have since had the opportunity to work alongside Chris on a number of contested banking matters, and he has continued to impress me with his understanding of the substantive law and his acumen for strategy."
"I worked closely with Chris in connection with a complex, distressed secured lending arrangement. He brought a calm demeanor, sound judgment and effective solutions to a difficult workout. It is evident that his business-side colleagues regard him as a trusted advisor."
"We served as outside counsel for Chris in a complex, cross-border litigation against several investors. Throughout the litigation, Chris was very responsive and provided insightful comments on all of our draft motion papers and letters to opposing counsel and the court. Most importantly, Chris set clear goals for his outside counsel and suggested various strategic alternatives for reaching them, all of which led to a successful resolution of the lawsuit. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Chris. I highly endorse him."
