An exceptional advocate for complex business litigation

Our company faced a high-stakes, multi-faceted dispute involving environmental compliance and insurance coverage issues. Navigating this required an attorney with a rare breadth of knowledge. Christopher Yeilding was precisely that. His deep, 23-year background in both Litigation - Environmental and Insurance Law proved invaluable. He didn't just manage the case; he mastered the intricate technical details and strategically guided us through every phase. His recognition by Best Lawyers is well-earned, reflecting the caliber of his counsel. Mr. Yeilding and the team at Balch & Bingham were consistently professional, responsive, and unflappable under pressure. The outcome was overwhelmingly positive, protecting our interests completely. For any business navigating complex legal challenges in Alabama, I cannot recommend him more highly.
