Chris Chauvin

Managing Partner

Chris Chauvin, Managing Partner, leads Trigild’s receivership operations, driving operational excellence and aligning teams to deliver consistent, strategic results for clients nationwide. As one of the firm’s principal receivers, he is responsible for strengthening and expanding client relationships, identifying new business opportunities, and driving continued growth across Trigild’s platform.

Chris brings a distinguished career in real estate capital markets and financial services litigation, with expertise in resolving distressed commercial loans, foreclosures, receiverships, and high-stakes litigation for lenders, financial institutions, and private equity funds. He has represented creditors in non-performing loan matters, including the exercise of remedies such as workouts, foreclosures, contested bankruptcies, and UCC sales, protecting lenders’ interests in assets ranging from hotels and multifamily properties to office, industrial, and healthcare facilities.

Over the course of his career, he has secured favorable outcomes in jury and bench trials, obtained injunctive relief for clients, and overseen numerous court-appointed receiverships. His work has been recognized by The Best Lawyers in America and Texas Super Lawyers.
