He is relentless in peeling away layers of complexity to uncover the strategic core of each issue, hunting for hidden levers that can turn a legal challenge into an early victory, a courtroom win, or a business solution tailored to his client’s needs.
Christian focuses his complex commercial litigation practice on intellectual property matters, including patent, trade secret, and copyright disputes. He also regularly litigates, mediates, and otherwise resolves technology-related contract disputes, such as those arising from software development agreements and technology collaborations.
