About Christian Berger
At McGuireWoods I work with a broad range of private equity investors, credit funds, independent sponsors, family offices and more and try to show them what exceptional and unparalleled service from a law firm really means. With nearly attorneys, M&A deals closed in the last three years, and leading practices in private equity, healthcare, fintech, energy (and more), I hope to see McGuireWoods become the go-to law firm for middle market and lower-middle-market private equity. I was recognized by the Legal Sales and Service Organization as Executive of the Year in 2019 and in 2018, I collected an award on behalf of McGuireWoods from the Financial Times for \"Most Innovative Law Firm in the Business of Law.\" Outside my day job at McGuireWoods, in 2019, I co-founded GridHawk, a tech-enabled infrastructure services company with over employees operating in 24 states. Previously, I led the acquisition of Maxanet, an auction software company, as a personal investment and successfully exited in less than three years to Fullsteam, a portfolio company of Aquiline Capital Partners.My most cherished titles are \"child of God,\"\"disciple,\"\"husband,\"\"father,\"\"son,\"\"brother,\" and \"friend.\" Before I die I hope to achieve a golf handicap of less than 18, a wheelie on a bike and a motorcycle, a four-minute breath hold, and a body fat percentage of 12 or less. I have been writing a book on my sales approach called \"Easy to Buy,\".
