In 2011, Christopher co-founded LexLocom in order to offer better value and flexibility to clients seeking to outsource legal projects or who required additional help on a temporary or intermittent basis.

Christopher obtained his law degree from Osgoode Hall Law School and a Bachelor of Arts degree from McGill University. He was called to the Bar of British Columbia in 1990, and practised in Vancouver before moving to London, England. There he secured a Graduate Business Degree from the London School of Economics and a Masters in British Imperial History from London University. He practised law in London before becoming a legal recruiter there, and then co-founding ZSA in Toronto in 1997.

Christopher is well known in both the legal and philanthropic communities. He founded both the Canadian (CGCA) and Quebec General Counsel Awards (PCJQ). He has written and spoken widely on the topics of legal recruitment, firm development and career strategy. He has a passion for history and in 2002 initiated the “Re-Trial of Louis Riel.” He is a Chair of the Vimy Foundation, a charity dedicated toward ensuring Canadians remember and honour their First World War efforts and sacrifice, and is the initiator of the Vimy Pin campaign and the Vimy Ridge Pilgrimage Medal campaign. Christopher was awarded the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs Commendation and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal for his efforts in raising awareness for the accomplishments of Canada’s Veterans.

Christopher is also a Board Member of the Shakespeare Globe Company of Canada, on the Advisory Committee of the Cundill Prize for History at McGill University, and is an active member of the Young Presidents’ Organization and the Albany Club. He is married with four children, and enjoys travelling, skiing, spending time at his cottage in the Laurentians, cheering on the “Habs,” history, politics, and wine.
