Christopher Cunio

Practice Areas

Chris handles complex commercial disputes of all varieties, as well as crucial internal and external investigations. He has litigated and arbitrated matters involving real estate acquisitions and development, energy transmission and construction contracts, information technology migration and deployment matters, C-level employment disputes, land use and environmental cases, insurance coverage claims, and civil investigative demands and qui tam/false claims act matters brought against corporations. He practices in courts throughout Massachusetts, as well as in New York and Texas, and has appeared pro hac vice in matters in several other states. His core clients include energy companies, real estate developers, technology companies, and healthcare organizations.

Whether representing the plaintiff or defendant, Chris deploys quickly to risk-assess, budget, control, strategize, and position each matter for a desirable outcome. As a result, he has been particularly effective in resolving matters pre-trial under Civil Rules 12(b) (motion to dismiss) and 56 (summary judgment). He is available 24/7 to meet clients’ needs and he staffs each case efficiently and effectively based on the subject matter involved, amount in dispute, scope and complexity of the issues, and e-discovery demands. Chris takes the leading role in every case he handles, and is involved in all critical events from the initial intake meeting to the final disposition. He has practiced with the same core personnel for his entire career, and he leverages Hunton’s broad and deep bench based on the circumstances presented by each matter.
