Christine is dedicated to providing her clients with comprehensive, excellent legal advice combined with a deep understanding of the economics of the deal and actual business needs. Her long-standing transaction experience and deep market insights are huge assets, in particular in high-end cross-border transactions.

Christine’s work is focused on Banking and Finance. She advises on complex national and international financings in private equity transactions and in particular on acquisition financings and refinancings. Christine has also advised on a considerable number of financial restructurings.

Her clients mainly include large private equity firms as well as their portfolio companies from various industries.

IFLR1000 recognizes Christine as a “notable practitioner” in their 2018 edition for her banking & finance work.
Christine studied law in Heidelberg, Passau and Mannheim and obtained her Master‘s Degree (LL.M.) at the University of Waikato/New Zealand.
Before joining Orrick in 2018, she had been a partner at another international law firm.

Orrick is a globally integrated law firm practicing in 12 countries, with over 25 offices worldwide. We focus on serving the Technology, Energy & Infrastructure and Finance sectors globally. Clients worldwide call on our teams for forward-looking commercial advice on transactions, dispute resolution and compliance matters.

We bring distinctive quality, teamwork and value to the table – and innovate in everything we do: Opportunities to innovate inspire us, and we were named the #1 most innovative law firm in North America by Financial Times in both 2016 and 2017.
Operating as one partnership worldwide in a unified law firm, collaboration is our life blood. Our partners’ commitment to a team approach has never been stronger. In recognition of the scope of our practice, we have been named to Law360’s Global 20 list six times.

We find great inspiration in the social impact of our client work. Likewise, we are committed to pro bono representation in our communities worldwide. Many of our lawyers exceeded the 20-hour pro bono standard last year. The American Lawyer ranks us ninth among U.S. firms for pro bono contribution in the U.S. and sixth internationally.

We are fortunate to have inherited the core values of excellence, teamwork, perseverance and innovation – going back 150+ years to our firm’s roots in California’s Gold Rush era. This history informs the long-term perspective we bring to our client advice. We’re equally grateful to work with the most innovative companies worldwide, paving the way for a more globally integrated, technologically sophisticated future.
