With a focus on achieving positive outcomes for clients, Christine understands how litigation of any type can have a profound impact on both business operations and the bottom line. Known for delivering efficient and valuable legal guidance, she invests in understanding her clients’ businesses so that they may focus on what matters most to them – their core mission. Fighting hard for her clients, she treats their businesses as if they are her own, giving clients confidence that their lawyer is not only battle-tested, but has their backs. 

She is committed to resolving disputes swiftly and efficiently and triages threats by managing spend, swiftly solving issues, and minimizing impact to a business while pursuing a successful outcome. 

Christine takes bench and jury trials to verdict and represents clients in mediation and arbitration settings across the country. She brings experience as first and second chair in high-stakes trials and has the requisite stamina to go the distance on her clients’ behalf. This is best illustrated by the fact that she second-chaired a marathon 60-plus day bench trial and first-chaired a four-week jury trial in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. Christine’s appellate victories show that, when it comes to her clients, she’s all in.

Christine understands the internal pressures on in-house attorneys and business executives to solve situations in a timely and cost-effective manner – all while protecting the company’s reputation. Her actions are in lockstep with the needs of the business, rather than letting litigation be the tail wagging the dog. Most of all, she believes being responsive to her clients’ needs is not just important, it’s everything.

Prior to her legal career, Christine worked as a research biologist with a focus on cancer biology and neurobiology. In her law practice, Christine applies the logic, focus and discipline she learned in the laboratory to her cases, integrating complex sets of facts into the strong legal arguments.
