Christopher Chadbourne & Associates

Also known as: CCA

Inactive

Founder/principal Christopher Douglas Chadbourne died February 13, 2020 (obituary: legacy.com/us/obituaries/nytimes/name/christopher-chadbourne-obituary?id=31938863; corroborated by michaeljfox.org/bio/christopher-chadbourne, which also states he "gradually left his firm" after a 2008 Parkinson's diagnosis). No public evidence of firm activity after the National Museum of the United States Army opening (Nov 2020, reflecting pre-death design work) — 6 years with no confirmable new projects, press, hiring, or portfolio updates, exceeding the 5+-year-dormant threshold independent of the founder's death. No successor entity found. (verified 2026-07-19)
