Christopher Wolf, a litigation partner at Proskauer Rose LLP in that law firm’s Washington, DC Office, is co-chair with Mike McCurry of “Hands Off the Internet”, a public policy advocacy group. MSNBC has called Chris “a pioneer in Internet law.” He was involved in the earliest matters involving the Internet, helping to make new law for new technologies.

He successfully represented The Washington Post in a high-profile challenge by the Church of Scientology to reporters’ use of the Internet. He represented the recording and software industries in the first successful lawsuits against online piracy. And he was among the first lawyers to litigate domain name disputes,
jurisdictional issues and the limits to online and e-mail marketing. A recent case involved a trademark law challenge to the use of Google “adwords” for marketing purposes. Chris also teaches Internet Law, most recently as an adjunct professor at the School of Law at Washington & Lee University.
