He represents insurers, large corporations, and small businesses in a range of civil litigation matters, including construction defect, medical negligence, premises liability, and professional liability. A seasoned litigator, Chris has obtained defense verdicts on behalf of clients in state and federal courts throughout New England.

One of Chris’s notable outcomes is Faber v. McVay, 155 A.3d 153 (R.I. 2017), in which he represented an insurance agency in a professional liability action before the Rhode Island Supreme Court.
