"I was fortunate to work with Christine for Study Group's international franchise. I would highlight her exceptional professionalism even in most demanding situations, excellent time-management, and self-discipline. Christine’s comprehensive legal advice tremendously supported the work of Study Group's internal audit function and other departments. She is a reliable team member and a great person to have".
