Before joining FS Legal as a Legal Director in December 2018, Christine spent three years in the role of General Counsel at national logistics and warehousing business, Arrow XL. Prior to that, Christine was a Legal Director in the commercial litigation team at Hill Dickinson. Christine is noted in testimonials in the Legal 500 UK Guide:

  • “Christine Newton is highly impressive, as one would expect from her resume. She navigates complexity and detail with ease, and seems unflappable in fast-moving litigation scenarios. She is also realistic, commercial and pragmatic”
  • “Christine Newton’s knowledge of the law regarding the claim was first class, always supplying me with information on where the case stood all the way through the case”

In addition to conventional court proceedings, she has extensive experience of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) including mediations, international arbitrations and adjudication.

Christine has represented clients in construction and engineering disputes covering a wide range of subject matters including defective industrial plant and machinery, multi-million pound engineering projects for a tidal barrier and an offshore oil rig and various disputes relating to commercial and residential sites including warehouses, leisure sites and apartment blocks.

Christine also specialises in corporate and insolvency disputes including:

  • shareholder disputes affecting companies in various sectors from football clubs to financial services
  • director disqualification and breach of fiduciary duty proceedings
  • proceedings arising from corporate insolvency e.g. claims against office holders, preference claims, retention of title etc
