Rebecca Christie

My family practice includes a mix of financial remedies, private children law and modern families work. Dealing with domestic abuse and other trauma related issues in family cases is an integral part of my work. In 2022 I was appointed to Resolution’s Domestic Abuse Committee to assist with its work on developing and promoting awareness of issues on all aspects of domestic abuse. In 2024 I was elected as Co-Chair of that committee. In 2025 I created and implemented the firm’s policy to support employees who are navigating the breakdown of a relationship. This policy included educating people on the legal repercussions of separating from a partner, as well as addressing relationship issues such as domestic abuse. This initiative received recognition in the Law Society Gazette for being “the first” of its kind.
