ALM Litigation Daily, “Going to the Mat: A New Jersey Litigator On Lessons Learned From Wrestling,” spotlights Christopher Nucifora, Esq., 6-4-2025

Kaufman Dolowich’s Christopher Nucifora, Chair of KD’s Commercial Litigation Practice Group and Co-Managing Partner of the firm’s New Jersey office, was featured in a Q & A in ALM’s Litigation Daily article, where he reflected on how lessons learned from his early wrestling days have influenced his legal career.

Mr. Nucifora wrestled during his youth up until his second year at Rutgers University, when he stopped to focus on his studies with intentions of getting into law school. More than two decades later, he is reflective on those years. He notes in the article, “I made the choice to concentrate on getting into law school rather than wrestling, which financially was a much better decision. But emotionally, it’s still something that sticks with me.” In fact, it’s the lessons that he picked up in wrestling that he still applies today in life as a litigator and outside counsel for clients. “I would say the hard work, preparation and the perseverance that goes into wrestling is very similar to what toes into practicing law.”
