About Chandler
Chandler Wren took an unconventional path into law. They began in business studies at Oregon State University, earning a B.A. in Business Management and Business Administration in 2016. A few years later Chandler enrolled at Southwestern Law School and completed a J.D. in 2023, emerging into practice at a moment when courts and clients were rapidly adjusting to post-pandemic norms.
After college Chandler stayed connected to campus life, participating on an operations team at Oregon State in 2017. That early experience in organizational work preceded a move into legal support. In 2019 Chandler joined The Cherry Tree Law Office as a legal assistant, handling intake and office workflows that keep a small firm moving. Those front-line tasks offered steady exposure to client communications and case preparation.
Chandler’s law school years included a progression into more substantive legal work. In 2022 they served as a senior certified law clerk at Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group. In that role Chandler worked alongside trial attorneys, contributing to research, drafting court filings and preparing factual summaries for litigation. The following year Chandler became an attorney at the same firm, stepping into responsibilities that include client counseling and courtroom filings. The timeline shows a steady move from administrative and support roles into full legal practice.
Throughout this progression Chandler has handled tasks that bridge law and management. Practical skills developed over the years include legal research, drafting briefs and motions, preparing discovery, and managing case files. Chandler’s background in business administration also informs how they approach case organization and client communications. Colleagues describe a lawyer who understands both the paperwork and the logistics behind bringing a file from intake to resolution.
Chandler is admitted to practice in Oregon and maintains professional memberships. Their work has been rooted in local practice environments rather than in academia or national policy. At Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group Chandler works with a team that manages litigation and client matters at the firm level. Chandler currently practices law at Gilroy Napoli Short Law Group and handles legal matters in Oregon.
