Christopher J. Dow focuses his practice on commercial litigation, environmental law, product liability, mass torts, general liability, and insurance matters. He has more than 15 years of defense litigation experience and advises clients on compliance with federal and state environmental regulations addressing contaminated soil and water, stormwater runoff, and air pollution.

Earlier in his career, Christopher served as Assistant Counsel and later Associate Counsel at a state regulatory agency, where he advised policymakers on the promulgation and implementation of environmental regulations, including oversight of regulations implementing the stationary source permitting program under Title V of the federal Clean Air Act. He also worked to build consensus between environmental regulators, private industry, and environmental advocates in connection with pre-permitting development sites.

In private practice, Christopher has specialized in hazardous waste cleanup cost recovery litigation under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), representing public and private clients in cleanup efforts projected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. He has also successfully defended clients in products liability and negligence matters, including jury trials in California state court.
