Christopher Westrick is a partner at the firm and a Civil Trial Attorney certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey — a distinction held by fewer than two percent of attorneys licensed in the state. He represents clients in employment, construction, and complex commercial litigation, and serves as general counsel to corporate clients across a range of industries, providing ongoing legal guidance on business operations, risk management, and dispute avoidance.

Chris's employment practice spans the full spectrum of workplace law. He defends employers against discrimination and harassment claims, wage and hour violations, and family leave disputes, and represents clients in contract matters and before the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He also counsels businesses on day-to-day employment decisions, drafts and negotiates employment agreements, and defends labor union grievances — helping clients stay ahead of legal exposure before disputes arise.

In construction law, Chris brings 25 years of experience defending developers, general contractors, subcontractors, construction managers, and design professionals. His work in this area covers claims for construction defects, project delays, professional malpractice, and subrogation, as well as contract disputes and risk allocation counseling throughout the project lifecycle.

Chris's broader litigation practice includes business and commercial disputes, product liability, personal injury, directors' and officers' liability, insurance coverage matters, and the defense of institutional sexual abuse claims. He has taken multiple jury trials to verdict in both state and federal courts and has argued appeals before state and federal appellate panels.

In addition to his litigation and counseling work, Chris is a Rule 1:40 qualified mediator and is listed on the New Jersey Superior Court roster of court-approved civil mediators, offering parties an experienced and efficient path to resolving disputes outside of court.
