WASHINGTON—Today, NetChoice President & CEO Steve DelBianco is pleased to announce the promotion of Christopher Marchese to Vice President of Litigation and Legal Strategy.
Marchese joined NetChoice in 2019 and has played a central role in expanding the organization’s legal advocacy, litigation strategy, and courtroom impact. In 2023, he founded the NetChoice Litigation Center, creating a dedicated litigation arm to challenge unconstitutional laws and defend free expression and free enterprise online.
Since then, the Litigation Center has secured a Supreme Court victory, grown to 25 active cases nationwide, and quadrupled NetChoice’s amicus production. Under Marchese’s leadership, the Litigation Center has also helped expand NetChoice’s legal footprint beyond Washington, D.C., including deeper engagement with West Coast technology leaders, startups, investors, and legal stakeholders. His work has strengthened NetChoice’s ability to bring more voices before courts, connect litigation strategy with membership growth, and ensure that emerging companies and innovators are represented in the constitutional debates shaping the future of the internet.
“Chris has been instrumental in building NetChoice’s litigation program into a national force,” said DelBianco. “Since launching the NetChoice Litigation Center, Chris has helped scale our legal work across the country, secure major victories, and position NetChoice at the center of the constitutional debates shaping the future of the internet. He has also helped turn litigation into a broader strategic platform for NetChoice — expanding our reach with members, startups, outside counsel, experts, and technology leaders across the country. This promotion recognizes both his leadership and the continued importance of litigation to NetChoice’s mission.”
Marchese has also helped lead efforts to broaden NetChoice’s legal and strategic presence abroad, as global regulators increasingly look to American technology policy and constitutional litigation for signals about the future of online expression, innovation, competition, and digital governance. Additionally, he will spearhead the development of advisory councils designed to bring together members, outside counsel, experts, startups, and other stakeholders around emerging legal challenges, including artificial intelligence, online safety, platform design, and the next generation of digital speech regulation.
