Kercher Law

Chris Kercher tries bet-the-company disputes. He is known for winning them fast: full trials mounted and decided on compressed timelines that would overwhelm most firms.

His practice spans corporate control and M&A, securities and financial markets, partnership and governance disputes, digital-asset disputes, and complex business litigation — from first strategy through trial and appeal.

Litigation is decided under conditions that don’t improve: incomplete information, a running clock, an adversary working to make every choice wrong. The lawyer’s craft is what happens there — whether advising a client who needs to make a call before the facts are in, reading a courtroom and changing course, or deciding what to concede so the rest better lands.

Most AI legal technology promises to need lawyers less. This firm was founded by asking the opposite: how do you put the first chair closer to the work — deeper in the record, earlier in the thinking, in the room for the moments that decide the case? So often in high-stakes disputes, attention is all you need. Nearly every American question becomes — sooner or later — a judicial one. The counsel, the judgment, the standing up — those jobs belong to a lawyer. At this firm, they always will.

Chris built the first dedicated AI litigation practice at a major U.S. law firm on that division, work The American Lawyer recognized with its 2025 Legal Services Innovation Award.
