WBD Alumni Spotlight: Christopher Bolen Finds New Challenges In Retirement's "Big Promotion"

We often say that at Womble Bond Dickinson, our greatest resource is our people. That is why we launched the WBD Alumni Network. Through our Alumni Spotlights, we aim to highlight the work and contributions of former employees that have helped make our firm what it is today. Firm alumni and current employees are encouraged to register for the WBD Alumni Network here.

Christopher Bolen doesn't use the word "retirement." Instead, the former Intellectual Property Partner says he received the "big promotion," when he stepped away from private practice after 32 years with Womble Bond Dickinson and its processor firm, Womble Carlyle, in January 2020.

That "big promotion" recently included the trip of a lifetime when earlier this year, Christopher and his wife, Nancy, traveled to Antarctica. There, they "kayaked between the icebergs and danced with the penguins," he said.
