Before joining Morgan Lewis, he served clients of another international New York–based law firm in London, Brussels, and Frankfurt, and worked for law firms in Paris, Hamburg, Barcelona, and Buenos Aires.

In addition to his private practice experience, Christian served as a trainee at the Commission of the European Communities, Directorate General IV for Competition.
