I had the pleasure of working with Chris Gawley for approximately 10 years as head of a securities trading group at a major financial services firm. During this period he served as in-house counsel for the Capital Markets business. Chris had both a broad and deep grasp of the challenges and complexities of running such a business in today's regulatory environment. I was continually impressed with his demonstrably strong understanding of the nuances of the Capital Markets business that influence day-to-day decisions. He was one of the few attorneys that could successfully balance both the regulatory aspect and the commercial needs of the business. Furthermore, his calm and rational demeanor was greatly appreciated under the stressful conditions found within a securities trading business. On many occasions, I had the need for a legal opinion while conducting business, or making broader strategic decisions with regard to how to grow the franchise. I quickly grew to appreciate the quick response and thorough counsel Chris consistently provided. He posed well thought-out and intelligent questions which challenged me to ensure we arrived at the "right" answer -- not necessarily always the answer I may have initially desired from a business perspective. In short, Chris became a trusted partner in the decision-making process with regard to managing the business. In conclusion, when I have the need for an intelligent, legally sound opinion upon which to base my future business decisions, I will be calling upon Chris' services without hesitation.

I've had the pleasure of working with Chris on several regulatory related projects. He has a great attention for detail and carefully considers the business objectives before recommending next steps. Chris's pleasant demeanor allows folks to respond to him in a very positive way. I hope we get to work together again in the future.

I highly recommend Chris Gawley for any legal assistance with financial regulatory matters, arbitrations or legal assistance with securities cases. I had the pleasure of working with Chris for a few years and found him to be an analytical, responsive and practical lawyer with a keen eye towards details. Being in the financial services industry, there were many instances where I consulted Chris on legal matters relating to securities arbitrations, regulatory inquiries and securities regulations and received excellent legal counsel.

I worked with Chris at Morgan Stanley and found his advice, legal assessments and recommendations to be extremely helpful to me as a Risk Manager. He was always responsive , pleasant and professional.

I've served on a non-profit board with Chris for several years. He is consistently the most reliable voice to think through a problem and cut to the chase in record time--and if necessary, take on the bad guys fearlessly and with grace. Just having him in our corner gives me confidence. We're asked below to choose whether the attorney is "Consulted" or "Hired," but in this case, it's both. When you bring a lawyer onto a board, you see him working and drafting, non merely giving his opinion.

Christopher is methodical & accurate. He has broad depth of knowledge and is quite easy to work with. He operates with the utmost inegrity and is considerate of the client's time. I highly recommend Christopher Gawley.

Chris is an outstanding attorney, his advice and guidance was spot on and saved my firm at the time much time, money, and effort. Highly recommend Chris.

I had the good fortune to work with Christopher Gawley during my time as an Executive Director at Morgan Stanley. Chris provided sage counsel and worked hard to be more than just an advocate for a particular position. The integrity of his work distinguished Chris, in my experience, from many others. His advice was not based upon a preconceived outcome, but, rather from the circumstances at hand. He was pragmatic, honest and provided great value in his role.

Christopher represented me in an arbitration. This arbitration was without merit. We settled for nuisance value. Then we had an expungement hearing. His presentation was excellent. He was very prepared with exhibits and documentation. The case won in our favor. I felt very comfortable having his representation.

Chris Gawley is an excellent lawyer. He brings a carefully analytic and detail oriented perspective to legal questions, coupled with a quick and penetrating understanding of the legal question at issue. His presence invariably sharpens the question and leads to stronger statements and outcomes.
