Christiana has always worked very closely with large scale companies, at first as a legal consultant in the areas Corporate, Company, Trusts, and Shipping Law, then as the Chief Legal Officer of an online financial trading company. She is currently both an Internet and IP lawyer, and a business and legal innovation strategy specialist working with some of the world’s largest companies.
