About Christopher S
Christopher S Hamer is an attorney whose academic path threaded business and tax law. He earned a B.S. in Commerce and Business Administration from the University of Alabama in 2005. He then took up legal studies at Birmingham School of Law, receiving his J.D. in 2010. He completed an LL.M. in Taxation at the University of Alabama School of Law in 2013.
Those credentials led quickly into practice. Hamer joined the Alabama bar in 2011 and became active in local professional circles soon after, taking membership in the Birmingham Bar Association in 2012. He began working under the Hamer Law Group, LLC name in 2011, serving as the lawyer and managing attorney. That phase of his career involved building a practice around the intersections of tax and business law, and establishing a client base in the region.
In 2021 he moved into a different role at Hand Arendall Harrison Sale LLC. That change brought him into a larger firm environment and into a broader range of matters handled at the firm level. His admissions include the U.S. Tax Court and the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, in addition to his state bar admission. Those court credentials allow him to take on federal tax proceedings as well as federal civil litigation rooted in business disputes.
Hamer’s training in taxation is a throughline in his work. The LL.M. in Taxation and admission to the U.S. Tax Court signal sustained engagement with tax controversies, planning, and compliance questions. He also draws on his undergraduate business degree when advising corporate and individual clients on transactional matters, tax implications of business decisions, and regulatory issues.
Colleagues describe him as someone who blends courtroom readiness with document- and client-oriented practice. He has moved between managing a small firm and practicing within a larger firm structure, which has shaped how he handles case management and client counseling. Memberships in the Alabama State Bar and the Birmingham Bar Association reflect ongoing participation in the professional community.
As of 2026 he is registered with the Alabama bar and practising at Hand Arendall Harrison Sale LLC. He handles tax matters, business-related disputes and federal litigation in the Northern District of Alabama and before the U.S. Tax Court.
