Christopher K. Jones focuses his practice primarily on class actions and complex litigation. He was appointed lead counsel in numerous consumer protection class actions, and has also served as defense counsel for many companies facing significant exposure in mass tort litigation and class action. He is currently involved in several Multi District Litigation (MDL) cases, representing both plaintiffs and defendants. His experience allows him to effectively prosecute and defend cases in this complex area of the law. In addition to class action litigation, he focuses his practice on insurance defense and commercial litigation, as well as personal injury litigation. He also handles consumer protection cases and collections for many local and out of state companies. In addition, he has successfully litigated several lemon law and redhibition claims.

He graduated from Tulane University in 1999 and received his law degree from Paul M. Hebert Law Center in 2002. At Tulane he was a member of the varsity baseball team. During his career he has become actively involved in the Baton Rouge Bar Association, for which he has served as a council member for the Young Lawyers Section Council, in addition to assisting with many of the BRBA's activities. He has helped many individuals through the BRBA's Pro Bono Program and its other assistance programs. He is involved in the community and a member of many local organizations. In 2011 he was honored as one of the Top Forty Under 40 by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report.
