Christina Pippas

Training and experience

Christina read Philosophy and Theology at the University of Oxford before completing her legal training at The University of Law. She qualified as a solicitor in 2016, initially practising in Banking and Finance before moving into Family Law in 2018.

Before joining Stowe in 2026 as a Senior Associate, Christina spent almost eight years in the Family team at a leading City law firm.

Christina is also fluent in Greek and Spanish.

Specialisms

Christina advises on all aspects of family law, with particular experience in complex divorce and financial remedy proceedings, often involving high-net-worth individuals. Her cases frequently involve businesses, trusts, corporate structures, international assets and jurisdictional issues.

She also has extensive experience in complex private children matters and advises on cohabitation disputes and pre- and post-nuptial agreements. Christina has particular experience in matters involving religious and cultural considerations, where she brings a sensitive and nuanced approach to the complexities these issues can present.

She has a particular interest in Modern Family cases and international and cross-border family law. She has has acted in international surrogacy matters, including reported High Court cases involving overseas surrogacy arrangements, consent and parental orders.

Approach

Christina understands that family law matters often arise at an extremely difficult and emotional time in a client’s life. She takes the time to understand each client’s individual circumstances, priorities and concerns and provides clear, practical advice from the outset.

Her approach is warm and empathetic while remaining pragmatic and commercially minded. She aims to resolve matters constructively wherever possible but is equally comfortable taking a robust and strategic approach when required. Clients value her ability to make complex issues understandable and to guide them calmly through what can otherwise feel like an overwhelming process.
