Years ago, our family business hit a wall. In one week, we lost eight of our top sales professionals — just gone.
It could have crushed us.
But it didn’t.
Because in the middle of the chaos, I had Christian Soller in the room.
More Than a Lawyer — A Steady Hand
Christian’s a partner at Hodgson Russ. Yes, he’s a sharp courtroom attorney. But in that moment, what I needed wasn’t litigation — I needed level-headed guidance. Someone who could see the legal risks and the family dynamics at play.
Christian was that person. He didn’t just talk strategy. He listened.
He was a sounding board, a voice of reason, and a steady presence when everything felt like it was unraveling.
Blending Legal Insight with Business Smarts
Christian has that rare ability to give legal advice that actually works in the real world.
He understands the messiness of family businesses — the unspoken tensions, the history, the legacy — and he helps you navigate that with clarity and care.
He helped us protect the business, preserve relationships, and move forward stronger.
The People You Call in a Crisis — Keep Them Close
You learn a lot about someone when you go through a fire with them.
And I learned this: Christian Soller is the kind of person you want by your side.
That’s why I’m proud to now have him in our corner at Stride as one of our Key Sponsors.
So here’s my question to you: Who showed up for you when things got hard?
Reach out. Thank them. Or better yet — find a way to keep them close.
You’ll be glad you did.
