Christopher B. Marston Esq.
Chris is a true entrepreneur. At a rebellious age of 14 he incorporated his first business before he could even get a drivers license. He also caught a bug for finance and financial markets early on and started successfully trading at 18. This lead him to his academic pursuits in finance, new venture management, and corporate law. With multiple degrees and after his tenure with Bose and leading as a CFO at a technology start-up, Chris set out to revolutionize the law, consulting, and entertainment industries with a vision for creating the firms of the future. It started with Exemplar Law Partners - the first firm in the nation to abandon traditional law practice of the billing by hour, focusing on the value of services provided, rather than the cost of one's time. He realized the firm of the future could be created with vision and leadership, the guts to forge a new path in an industry that is crying out for a reform, and a marketplace that would support such a departure.
When he is not busy helping customers follow their passion, he is a very active member in numerous entrepreneurial organizations. He also used to compete in ballroom dancing, and currently works off his stress by playing volleyball and hiking every chance he gets.
