CHRISTINE PAGE
ARBITRATOR
​
After mediating and arbitrating disputes for nearly 20 years as an adjunct to her litigation practice, Christine Page left the world of litigation in 2013 and opened the offices of Page Dispute Resolution. While she found the role of advocate challenging and rewarding, resolving disputes has become her true passion and calling. Christine now brings her depth of experience in handling employment, real estate, business, and FINRA-related disputes to her role as a private neutral.
​As an ARBITRATOR, Christine is known for her sense of fairness, objectivity, and astute attention to detail. She is dedicated to preserving arbitration as a forum for genuine alternative dispute resolution, i.e., a streamlined, efficient, and economical process. In her role as arbitrator, she assists the parties and counsel to achieve meaningful reductions in cost and time by, among other things, setting firm time limits, prioritizing discovery and limiting depositions as appropriate, and resolving issues on short notice as they arise.
Christine serves on the Commercial and Employment panels of the American Arbitration Association.
LEGAL EXPERIENCE and EDUCATION
Christine began her legal career in 1982 at the international law firm of Rogers & Wells (now Clifford Chance) and, prior to establishing her own practice, was a litigation partner for thirteen years at the Santa Monica firm of Gilchrist & Rutter PC.
Christine received her J.D. with honors from the University of California, Davis School of Law and graduated Omicron Delta Kappa from Whittier College. She received a Diplome D’Etudes Superieures in Comparative Law at the Universite d’Aix-Marseilles III in Aix-en-Provence, France.
