In 2008, Christopher co-founded a law firm where he continued to focus his practice in New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Christopher is also often retained by carriers to handle their claims throughout the United States and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. In addition, Christopher headed up the Corporate and Business Practice of his prior law firm with focus in corporate start-up, compliance, mergers and acquisitions, drafting business agreements, employment disputes, non-compete litigation and other general business litigation.
