Bell Nunnally Managing Partner Christopher B. Trowbridge has been named to Lawdragon’s 2026 “100 Managing Partners You Need to Know” list for the second consecutive year.

Trowbridge is a high-stakes commercial litigator who represents clients in “bet-the-company” disputes across the United States and internationally. He is trusted by leading companies to handle complex litigation and arbitration involving financial services, trade secrets and business torts — often in parallel proceedings where the strategic stakes are global and outcomes are business-critical.

A recognized voice on cross-border dispute strategy, Trowbridge regularly speaks at international forums on topics including dispute resolution frameworks for the semiconductor industry in Southeast Asia, international investment into Texas and the United States, and the structuring of arbitration and forum selection provisions in global transactions.

In addition to his active litigation practice, Trowbridge serves as Managing Partner of Bell Nunnally, a Dallas-based firm with a national and international client base. Since 2019, he has led the firm through sustained growth while continuing to represent clients in their most consequential matters.
