About Christie
Having just graduated from Strathclyde University, Christie has started her traineeship with us. Christie has attended courts at all levels across Scotland in both an employment and a criminal capacity.
While at Strathclyde, Christie was a member of the Law Clinic and frequently attended Initial Advice Clinics providing those who need it, quick and free access to legal advice. Outside of this, Christie worked with a law firm as a student in order to gain experience in a workplace setting. This has allowed her to attend courts, state hospitals and prisons, while building her knowledge.
When taking on a case, clear communication and support are two core values Christie always aims to achieve.
Expertise
Christie’s passions include access to justice, public law and protecting the right to a fair trial. Her dissertation was on the legality of the Syrian war in a post-Chilcot enquiry era and the implications for the Syrian people.
Christie views the law as a tool for change, utilising it to protect minorities and marginalised people. She strongly believes in the power of trade unions and their ability achieve collective good.

I felt highly encouraged and truly supported by you...And these will remain with me for life. F Adejumo
