Overview
Christine is a nationally recognized litigator focused on eDiscovery and overarching litigation strategy. She brings practical skill to high-dollar, bet-the-company cases, handling all aspects of discovery for complex commercial litigation, restructuring-related litigation, products liability litigation, antitrust matters, Section 220 requests and ongoing or anticipated investigations.
Christine knows from first-hand experience how major litigation can unfold over time and across jurisdictions and the many strategic choices her clients will face. Dedicated to delivering outstanding case management for national matters involving cross-firm teams, Christine aims to establish consensus and develop repeatable tactical systems. She often serves as discovery counsel in national matters alongside V10 firms — offering both enhanced experience in discovery strategy and flexible rate structures.
With clients ranging from Fortune 100 technology companies and accounting firms to healthcare laboratories and manufacturing businesses, Christine advises on litigation readiness, developing eDiscovery protocols, budget-focused data analytics, and recovering from data loss.
