Strategic. Versatile. Trusted.

Chris Wike is an Austin-based attorney and mediator with over two decades of experience helping businesses, employers, employees, and individuals navigate complex legal challenges — and resolve them. He is Board Certified in Labor & Employment Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.

Whether you're looking to settle a dispute, structure a business, or manage workforce challenges, Chris brings the rare combination of courtroom experience, judicial insight, and genuine human understanding that turns complicated situations into workable outcomes.

Some attorneys know the law. Chris knows the law, the courtroom, the boardroom, and the stakeholders in all of them.

His career has taken him from the chambers of two federal judges, to an AmLaw 100 international law firm, to the courtrooms of Texas, New Mexico, and Florida, to building his own boutique practice in Austin. That breadth of experience means he understands how disputes develop, how they escalate, and — most importantly — how they end.

He believes the best legal outcomes come from being prepared before problems arise. That same philosophy extends to the businesses he works with — Chris helps clients build the legal infrastructure, governance frameworks, and employment structures that allow them to scale and grow with confidence, not catch-up.
