The Insurance Law Council is pleased to bestow its highest honor, the Russell H. McMains Legend of Texas Insurance award, on Christopher Martin. The award recognizes a senior Texas lawyer who represents the highest levels of accomplishment, competence, professionalism, and ethics in the practice of insurance law and who inspires others to do likewise. The award is named for the late Russell H. (“Rusty”) McMains, who was a Chair of the Section and one of its founders, and who epitomized the type of practitioner the award is designed to honor. Chris was also a part of the original Insurance Law Council, serving as the first Publications Officer. He has dedicated his legal career to the practice of insurance law, and in the process, has not only mastered, but taken to new heights, the accomplishment, competence, professionalism and ethics required of a Legend. His practice and his approach to his practice have been an inspiration to others. He well deserves to be recognized as a Legend of Texas Insurance Law.
Congratulations, Chris!
