With a practice spanning all 50 states, Christopher “Chris” A. Bottcher represents financial institutions, health care providers, hospital equipment manufacturers and refurbishers, and other businesses in a broad range of financial services and commercial litigation. He regularly advises clients in matters involving trade secrets, non-competition agreements, and the enforcement of restrictive covenants. Chris’s work with lenders includes real estate litigation and the defense of toxic tort claims. He also represents clients in product liability actions, business disputes, and fraud claims, and he counsels partners and shareholders in litigation and dissolution proceedings. Having cultivated trust-centered relationships with his clients, Chris advises them on day-to-day business operations in a variety of industries.
Chris takes a pragmatic approach to litigation, carefully assessing the dynamics and proceeding strategically. Rather than fighting every small dispute that arises, he prefers to pick his battles and encourages his clients to pick theirs. Chris emphasizes civility, and rarely leaves a case having made enemies. He will, however, advocate aggressively when he thinks it serves the client’s interests.
