About Christa Britton Sullivan

With over three decades of legal experience, I am a distinguished leader in transactional law, celebrated for my strategic vision and ability to provide a comprehensive, 360-degree approach to complex legal matters. My diverse background in litigation, real estate, and business law equips me to serve as a legal “quarterback,” skillfully coordinating multifaceted strategies that extend beyond traditional legal services to align with my clients’ broader business and organizational objectives. What sets me apart is my litigation-informed approach, which allows me to anticipate potential challenges and draft agreements designed to mitigate risks and avoid future disputes. This unique perspective has made me a trusted advisor to businesses and individuals navigating mergers, acquisitions, and other high-stakes transactions. My commitment to building strong client relationships and tailoring solutions to meet each client’s specific needs underscores my reputation for delivering exceptional, client-focused service. As a member of Shumaker’s Corporate, Tax, and Transactions Service Line, I combine my deep legal experience with strategic foresight to provide counsel that not only addresses immediate concerns but also creates sustainable, long-term solutions. My ability to anticipate challenges, align legal strategies with business goals, and prioritize my clients’ success makes me an invaluable asset to those she serves.
