Chris Eby represents leading companies in products liability, consumer class action, and complex commercial litigation in federal and state courts across the country. Chris navigates clients through all stages of cases—from pre-litigation diligence, to initial fact gathering and data preservation, through discovery and motions practice, and at trial as well as in appellate proceedings. Chris specializes in developing legal arguments and discovery strategies that yield dismissal of class action claims and tranches of cases in mass tort proceedings, and he often takes and defends depositions of key fact and expert witnesses. In addition to examining witnesses, Chris typically runs point on all legal issues at trial and routinely convinces judges to exclude irrelevant or prejudicial evidence, limit the use of questionable science, and issue favorable jury instructions.
Chris maintains an active pro bono practice, particularly in federal immigration court. He has secured asylum for persecuted individuals from Russia, Eritrea, Mexico, and Venezuela—in each case persuading an immigration judge, after extended briefing and a merits hearing, to release the asylee from detention and grant deportation relief. Chris has also focused his pro bono efforts on appellate advocacy, drafting numerous public interest amicus curiae briefs and representing indigent clients on appeal before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, state courts of appeal, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and more.
Chris has been recognized as “One to Watch” in Best Lawyers in America since 2023.
