Christine leads our US antitrust, competition, and trade practice, and is based in our Washington, DC office. Drawing on 30 years of public and private sector experience at the intersection of law, policy, and politics, Christine counsels clients on how to navigate complex and evolving legal and regulatory regimes to achieve their desired business goals.

Most recently, Christine served as a Commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) where she helped shape policies and enforcement actions in the fields of antitrust, consumer privacy & data security, and consumer protection. Before joining the FTC, Christine was a Senior Vice President at Delta Air Lines, where she oversaw the carrier’s regulatory and international legal matters. Prior to moving in-house, she was a partner at two international law firms where she worked with clients to achieve regulatory clearance for multi-jurisdictional mergers and to defend businesses in high-stakes investigations.

Her broad sector experience ranges from aircraft and automobiles to veterinary services, video games, and virtual reality. She has worked extensively in the highly regulated fields of airlines, health care, and pharmaceuticals.

After leaving the FTC in 2023, Christine founded an organization to provide safe housing and comprehensive support services to survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Freshfields provided pro bono services to the organization, including handling its corporate formation. Christine will continue supporting this organization alongside client practice.
