NEW YORK, NY—Glenn Agre Bergman & Fuentes announced that Christopher P. Johnson, one of the country’s most highly ranked securities and MBS litigators, has joined the firm as a partner in its New York office. He is the fourth attorney to join Glenn Agre’s structured financial products litigation practice this year, as the firm continues to expand its capabilities in one of the most consequential areas of financial litigation.
Johnson arrives from McKool Smith, where he was a principal in the New York litigation practice and managing principal of the New York office from 2021 to 2025.
Johnson is a trial and appellate lawyer with more than three decades of experience in complex civil litigation. He has represented government agencies, major financial institutions, hedge funds, and litigation trustees in RMBS, CMBS, private credit, and other structured finance disputes. He successfully prosecuted securities claims on behalf of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, as conservator for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, recovering billions from major financial institutions for misrepresentations concerning RMBS. Johnson has won summary judgment, recovering over $50 million for Fannie Mae in the Stuyvesant Town Trust Instruction Proceeding – probably the most significant case in the CMBS field – and successfully resolved a hedge fund’s claims regarding credit-linked notes.
