Evan R. Christopher
Associate
Evan Christopher helps clients resolve their disputes efficiently. Whether that dispute is with your partner, your competitor, or your government, Evan has the relationships and the savvy to resolve it on your terms. He built his extensive network through time spent as a fundraiser, political staffer, civic volunteer, and a member of every branch of the Oregon state government. Not every problem is solved in a courtroom; many can be solved with a phone call.
Evan works with clients to manage their interactions with contractors, consumers, and regulators to their greatest advantage. He has represented clients before state and federal trial courts, the Oregon Court of Appeals, and the Oregon Supreme Court. He also assists in compliance and investigations, administrative practice before state and federal agencies, and industry and issue advocacy.
