Christie Allan is a solicitor within Livingstone Brown’s Specialist Litigation Team and is based in the Glasgow City office.

Christie joined the firm in 2022, having trained at an international commercial law firm at which she gained well-rounded experience working on high value matters for a variety of clients in different areas of law such as corporate, banking, commercial litigation and employment. Christie qualified as a solicitor in September 2021 and worked within the commercial litigation team prior to joining Livingstone Brown.

Christie is a graduate of the University of Dundee, where she obtained First Class Honours in her Bachelor of Laws Scots and English Dual Qualifying Degree, and obtained her Postgraduate Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, latterly winning the Advanced Advocacy Civil Prize (awarded by the Faculty of Procurators and Solicitors in Dundee), as well as winning the University of Dundee DPLP Internal Civil Court Practice Competition. During her time at university, Christie also participated in the prestigious Telders International Law Moot Court Competition as a member of Team Scotland, which sees national teams present a fictitious case to a panel of judges from the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Christie has a particular interest in criminal litigation and her personal approach and nature enables her to nurture strong relationships and provide quality advice and client care. She has experience in appearing in the Sheriff Court, and in investigating and progressing complex cases (primarily relating to allegations of financial crime), including defending civil recovery proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and in the preparation of civil cases which are closely connected to criminal allegations.
