His practice is focused on antitrust litigation, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in the technology, healthcare IT, and medical supply industries. Chris also has extensive experience representing clients before state, federal, and international enforcement agencies.

Chris spent eight years at the FTC, including serving as an attorney advisor to the chairman and acting deputy assistant director of the Bureau of Competition.
