Christopher Bellows is our Latest Featured Speaker!

Our latest featured speaker is Christopher Bellows from Holland & Knight!

Chris is teaching Oral Argument at our upcoming 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Boot Camp: The Nuts and Bolts program, along side 11th Circuit Senior Judge Charles Wilson.

This program is set for September 17 and 19, 2024 (Chris is speaking on September 19th).  It is designed to teach the attorney new to appeals at the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals Boot Camp everything – or most everything – they need to know to handle an appeal at the 11th Circuit.  Attorneys looking for an Eleventh Circuit refresher will also benefit from the program. It is based on our very popular 9th Circuit program, held last year and in 2021.

As an appellate attorney, Chris has spoken several times at our appellate related programs, always to rave reviews. Chris most recently spoke at our terrific Persuasive Appellate Brief Writing and Oral Argument 101 program in June 2024. If you’d like to hear him speak, as well as multiple appellate judges and other outstanding appellate attorneys, you can find that program on our website (by clicking the link).

A partner at Holland & Knight, Chris Bellows focuses his practice on appellate cases. He has handled complex civil appeals in the Supreme Court of Florida, all Florida District Courts of Appeal and the federal appellate courts.

Mr. Bellows also has significant experience in complex commercial litigation, including areas of contract law, Uniform Commercial Code, business torts, foreclosures, receiverships, replevins, construction disputes, landlord-tenant litigation, product liability, personal injury, first amendment, employment discrimination, housing discrimination, environmental law, professional malpractice, antitrust, securities fraud and shareholder disputes.

We are so glad to have you with us again Christopher!
