Christopher H. Logan
Partner
Chris represents healthcare providers in malpractice litigation in the Kansas City region. He
handles all aspects of litigation from the pleadings and discovery stage, including taking and defending fact and expert witness depositions to representing clients in mediation and all facets of trial. Chris’ litigation experience entails handling claims against large hospitals as well as individual health care providers. He has tried cases resulting in defense verdicts in state courts in Missouri and Kansas, as well as Federal Court.
Close collaboration with his clients to develop a successful defense strategy is central to Chris’ practice. Ultimately, he believes the most important part of his job is guiding his clients through the uncertainty and stress of litigation. To that end, Chris’ familiarity with complex medicine allows him to provide sound advice on the strengths and risks of each case to properly assess and
reduce liability exposure. When resolution is not possible, Chris is prepared to vigorously defend his clients through trial and post-trial appeals.
Chris, his wife and three children live in the Kansas City area. When not practicing law, he enjoys
playing competitive tennis, coaching youth sports and spending time in Colorado.
