Christine Ryan
Associate, BSc (Hons), J.D., L.L.M.
Christine graduated from Dalhousie University with a Bachelor of Science with honours. After working as a biologist (and also a barista), she decided to pursue a legal career. During her legal studies at the Université de Moncton, she was the recipient of scholarships and competed in the inter-university Laskin Moot competition, where she debated constitutional and administrative legal issues. During her common law studies, she took advantage of an exchange program and studied civil law at the Faculté de droit of the Université de Poitiers in France, completely immersing herself in French culture.
After completing her Juris Doctor in 2016, she continued on the academic route as a legal researcher for law professors, then she joined them as a colleague when she taught Insurance Law at the Faculté de droit of the Université de Moncton. She also worked as an insurance agent from 2018-2022.
Putting her insurance knowledge to good use, she started her articles with Chatwin LLP working on insurance defence files. She is eager to litigate for her clients, helping them achieve their goals in effective ways.
Beyond her life as a biologist, barista, barrister & solicitor, she is also a beach sprinter. When she is not studying, you can find her in the kitchen with her family being creative and chaotic.
