Shekyena also has extensive experience in Regulatory Law and Professional Discipline and has been instructed by the Nursing and Midwifery Council in complex hearings involving criminal convictions, lack of competence and serious allegations of professional misconduct including sexual misconduct.

Christina accepts instructions across all Chambers’ practice areas with a principal focus on general crime. During pupillage, she has gained particular experience in representing vulnerable defendants in both the Crown and Magistrates’ Court.
