Christina Gilbertson is a Colorado native, and spent several years litigating all aspects of civil matters (from contract negotiations through trial and appeals) in a wide range of practice areas in both Federal and State Courts at the district and appellate levels. Using her experience as a litigator, Christina now focuses her practice on general business counseling, with an emphasis on risk management to help business owners make sure that they have the necessary items such as contracts, insurance and procedures in place to protect them should a legal issue or claim arise.

Christina takes a practical approach in her legal counseling, endeavoring to understand clients as a whole and looking to address not only current issues that business owners may be facing, but also looking forward to the future to make sure that the solutions and advice given further the client’s ultimate goals.

I appreciate the time, information and resources Ron shared with me on Wednesday. Ron has a lot of experience that I can learn from.
