Prior to joining Foley Hoag, Christina served as an associate at another global law firm, where she litigated trial court- and appellate-level matters concerning free speech, newsgathering, and government transparency, with an emphasis on defending news media organizations, documentary filmmakers, and technology companies from defamation, right of publicity, and related claims.
Christina also spent three years as a supervising attorney in the Cornell Law School First Amendment Clinic, where she litigated matters involving free speech, civic participation, and government transparency in state and federal courts at all stages of litigation. Her experience includes briefing and arguing a First Amendment challenge before the New York Court of Appeals; contesting a gag order that restricted a criminal defendant’s social media use; and bringing constitutional challenges to state laws and government actions that infringed on protected speech. She also defended multiple libel actions on appeal under New York’s anti-SLAPP law and secured reversals of local government policies that unlawfully limited speech. During her time at the clinic, Christina additionally obtained access to public records and conducted pre‑publication review for journalists.
Before her work at Cornell, Christina practiced at two global law firms, gaining substantial experience in securities litigation, government investigations, and white‑collar criminal defense in both state and federal jurisdictions.
She also maintains an active pro bono practice focused on First Amendment and veterans’ issues.
