Chris Weil

Co-CEO at Mintz Group (USA)

Speaker

Chris was named interim co-CEO in November 2023.

Prior, Chris was managing partner of the Mintz Group's Washington, D.C. office, specializing in complex litigation and public-policy disputes. He co-headed the firm’s international asset tracing unit and led the firm’s antitrust practice. His practice focused exclusively on complex disputes — ranging from corporate litigation to international arbitration claims to trade disputes and corporate reputation management. He has conducted investigations in a wide variety of industries, from manufacturing to logistics to the financial services sector, and has worked as the lead investigator in some of the largest global asset investigations in recent years.

Chris and his team have particular expertise in areas they have found crucial to asset tracing and recovery, including: Banking, Offshore Structures, Shipping, Real Estate, Private Aircraft and Internet Forensics.

Chris has pioneered creative investigative asset tracing techniques in the energy and extractive industries tracking the shipment of commodities, and seeking injunctive relief in multiple jurisdictions to help enforce multi-billion dollar court judgments.

Chris joined the Mintz Group as an investigator in 1999 and has held senior investigator roles in both the New York and Washington, D.C. offices of the firm.

Chris has been recognized as a leading practitioner in Who’s Who Legal Asset Recovery Experts since in 2016. His asset tracing practice was commended for his “highly intelligent and responsive manner.” He also serves on the Editorial Advisory Board of the Journal of Enforcement of Arbitration Awards published by JurisNet.
