Christen Douglas is a partner in the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery LLP and is based in the New York office.

Christen’s practice includes trust and estate planning, administration and litigation. In planning trusts and estates, Christen counsels individuals and families with respect to estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxation, family business succession and philanthropic planning.

When litigation is necessary, Christen offers a unique perspective by understanding the highly technical aspects of estate and tax planning as well as the strategy of litigation.

Christen received her LL.M. from New York University School of Law in 2011 and her J.D. from University of Virginia School of Law in 2007. She earned her B.A. from Princeton University in 2004.
