Christina Lee

Associate

Christina Lee represents clients in a broad range of civil litigation matters, including in intellectual property disputes, complex privacy cases, and high-stakes commercial litigation. She has secured favorable results for clients both through winning cases early in litigation and at trial. Ms. Lee has represented Google in several nationwide privacy class actions and obtained dismissals of entire complaints and critical claims through motion practice. She also recently represented the former shareholders of FerroKin BioSciences against Shire Pharmaceuticals in a bench trial in the Delaware Court of Chancery, which awarded the firm’s clients more than $80 million, including an overdue milestone payment, attorney’s fees, and interest. That decision was affirmed by the Delaware Supreme Court.  

Ms. Lee also maintains a robust pro bono practice with a focus on civil rights issues.  In collaboration with the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and the ACLU, she is currently representing three immigrant families who were separated at the United States-Mexico border in 2018 in a federal lawsuit seeking damages in the Northern District of California. 

Prior to joining Keker, Van Nest & Peters, Ms. Lee served as a law clerk to Judge Milan D. Smith, Jr. of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and to Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

Ms. Lee earned her J.D., magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School and her B.A. in history, summa cum laude, from Yale. During law school, she participated in Harvard Law School's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, mediated disputes in small claims court through the Harvard Mediation Program, and co-chaired the 21st National Asian Pacific American Conference on Law and Public Policy.

Prior to attending law school, Ms. Lee spent summers interning at the Fred T. Korematsu Institute for Civil Rights and Education, working at an international humanitarian aid organization in Taipei, Taiwan, and studying human rights in Berlin, Germany as a Humanity in Action Fellow.
