Career

Christina is a partner in the Advisory Research group in Toronto, which provides opinions on complex or novel legal issues to clients and lawyers within the Firm. In her practice, Christina provides advice to corporate clients faced with potential litigation, and works closely with litigators to provide strategic support to clients already engaged in litigation. Drawing on her previous experience as a litigator, Christina develops legal arguments and pleadings, and advises on contractual or statutory interpretation, unclaimed property, conflict of laws, and numerous other corporate and commercial matters. She is regularly called upon to prepare written materials for appeals to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court of Canada and has played a significant role in cases involving professional negligence, complex commercial disputes and insurance matters. Christina is also responsible for the training and development of the research and writing skills of the articling and summer students in the Firm’s Toronto office.

Christina is a frequent publisher and was recently cited by the Supreme Court of Canada in CIBC v. Green, the securities class action trilogy, for her work on limitation periods.

Prior to joining Dentons, Christina clerked at the Federal Court of Appeal for the Honourable Mr. Justice Brian Malone and practiced civil litigation at another national law firm in Toronto. Christina also obtained an LLM at Osgoode Hall, focusing her research on conflict of laws.

Christina brings her prior experience as a litigator and judicial law clerk to her practice in order to produce practical answers designed to assist the Firm’s clients and advocate for their interests.
