Christopher A. Nelson

A consummate professional who delivered results in a complex business dispute

When our company faced a significant breach of contract and fiduciary duty claim from a former business partner, the situation felt overwhelming. We were referred to Christopher Nelson, and it was the best decision we could have made. While his profile notes his recognition in Tax Law, his deep expertise in Commercial Litigation was immediately apparent. He meticulously dissected the complex financial and operational records of our joint venture, building an unassailable defense strategy. His calm, methodical approach in Chicago, where the case was filed, was invaluable, even as he managed our needs from Atlanta. Christopher’s foresight in anticipating the other side’s arguments saved us countless hours and resources. He guided us through mediation with a firm but pragmatic hand, ultimately securing a dismissal of all major claims against us with a favorable settlement on the counterclaims we pursued. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-deserved; he combines sharp legal acumen with a genuine commitment to his client’s best interests. We emerged not just legally protected, but with a stronger understanding of our own contractual safeguards.
