Christopher J. Santoli

Skilled and strategic counsel in a complex insurance dispute

Our company retained Christopher Santoli at Kirkland & Ellis to handle a significant and complex insurance coverage dispute stemming from a series of business interruption claims. From our initial consultation, it was clear that his recognition in the field of Insurance Law was well-deserved. He demonstrated a nuanced understanding of the policy language and the procedural hurdles we faced, breaking down the legal complexities into actionable strategy for our leadership team. His background in mass tort and class action litigation was also evident in his methodical approach to evidence and his foresight regarding potential large-scale implications of our case. Christopher is a sharp, diligent attorney who secured a favorable settlement that protected our interests. The only minor critique, and the reason for four instead of five stars, is that during particularly intense phases of the litigation, communication from his direct office could occasionally lag by a day or two, though his substantive work never suffered. I would confidently recommend him for sophisticated insurance and complex litigation matters.
