Rebecca Christie

Practice Areas

Rebecca has considerable experience in all areas of family law, and has acted for a wide variety of clients both internationally and throughout the UK, but especially cases that require substantial client care. As well as family law, Rebecca has expertise in art and cultural property law, so is particularly adept at dealing with high net worth divorces and dissolution of civil partnerships where knowledge of the art market is required.

Rebecca's 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 her work. In 2022 Rebecca 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, Rebecca was elected as Co-Chair of that committee.

She supports Resolution’s constructive approach to family issues, while considering the needs of the whole family. Her aim is to take a caring and empathetic approach whilst also protecting and promoting her client’s best interests.

Rebecca's art and cultural property practice includes both a range of contentious and non-contentious matters for private clients. Her areas of expertise include disputes involving attribution, provenance, title, authenticity, and illegally trafficked goods.

In 2021 Rebecca set up “PING”, the Next Generation arm of the Professional Advisors to the International Art Market (“PAIAM”), chairing the Committee until December 2023, when she was promoted to the main Board for the UK and Europe. In July 2024, Rebecca was appointed as Vice Chair of the PAIAM Board (UK and Europe).
