Meet Christina

Christina is a legal assistant in the Litigation & Arbitration team at LES. She originally joined the firm based on a recommendation from a former colleague.
"He spent a couple of months convincing the department that they needed a legal assistant," she says with a smile. "I initially started by keeping track of deadlines and projects for the entire department, but today, I primarily work for Partner Morten Schwartz Nielsen — while, of course, helping out wherever I can."
As a legal assistant, Christina balances a wide range of tasks, from managing deadlines and handling correspondence in major lawsuits to registering deeds and drafting legal documents.
"I always start my day by reviewing court notifications and making sure deadlines are managed correctly," she explains. "But my work is incredibly diverse, and I handle a bit of everything on a daily basis."

"I knew almost nothing about litigation and arbitration when I joined LES, but I’ve learned so much from my talented colleagues. I’ve had the chance to grow with my responsibilities and work on exciting, complex cases," she shares. "The pace in the team is fast, but we always find time to support each other, which I really appreciate."
Above all, Christina highlights the strong relationships with her colleagues as a key part of her experience at LES.
"We laugh a lot and share the same sense of humour, but at the same time, there's a great level of focus and mutual understanding when things get busy. That means a lot to me," she concludes.
