Christopher Jackson came to employment law through a background built on public service and advocacy. After graduating from Rutgers Law School, where he represented vulnerable populations in the Immigrant Justice Clinic, he clerked for the Honorable Kay Walcott-Henderson, developing a strong foundation in motion practice, legal analysis, and courtroom procedure. He then practiced at several litigation firms before joining Mark & Kleinfeldt, where his practice is now focused on representing employees in workplace disputes. Christopher's litigation background extends beyond employment law to include healthcare disputes and complex multi-issue matters, and he is admitted in New Jersey and the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. His breadth of experience gives him a practical advantage in cases that involve overlapping legal theories or procedural complexity. His commitment to the legal profession extends well beyond his caseload. Christopher has served as Chair of the New Jersey State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division, Chair of the Rutgers Camden Law Alumni Association Young Lawyers Division, and Chair of the Mercer County Young Lawyers Division. He currently serves on the NJSBA Board of Trustees, the Diversity Committee, and the New Jersey Supreme Court Committee on Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement. He was named the 2022 Mercer County Bar Association Young Lawyer of the Year and received the 2024 NJSBA Young Lawyers Division Service to the Bar Award.
