He has developed a robust emerging companies’ practice, serves as a member of CSG Law’s Alternative Capital team, and manages the firm’s EB-5 practice.

Christopher, who joined the firm in February 2021, was tapped as a Rising Star for Surety. Chris, an associate with the Fidelity & Surety and Litigation Groups, advises and represents sureties, owners, design professionals, contractors and developers in all aspects of surety and construction law. He has extensive experience representing clients on matters related to performance and payment bonds, professional liability, design defects, breaches of contract, delays, mechanic’s liens, property damage, and contract negotiations.

Michael, who joined the firm in January, was included in this year’s Rising Stars list for Real Estate.
