We are excited to welcome Christina Tantoy back to Stokes Wagner as Managing Shareholder of our Los Angeles office.

Christina’s connection to the firm spans much of her career. She first joined Stokes Wagner as a law clerk and later returned to the firm as an associate, where she worked closely with hospitality clients on complex litigation and employment matters.

Over the course of her time with the firm, Christina has developed a deep understanding of the hospitality industry and the challenges operators face. Her work has focused on helping businesses navigate employment disputes, operational challenges, and litigation affecting day-to-day business operations.

After leaving the firm to broaden her experience in insurance defense, Christina has now returned to Stokes Wagner to lead our Los Angeles office as Managing Shareholder.

Christina’s return is particularly meaningful to our firm. She knows our clients, our practice, and the industries we serve. Having grown professionally within Stokes Wagner, she brings both continuity and leadership as she steps into her role guiding our Los Angeles office.

At Stokes Wagner, we are proud to serve the hospitality industry — an industry built on relationships, loyalty, and people. Those same values shape our firm. We are a labor and employment practice at our core, but we are also a team that believes deeply in investing in our people and supporting them through the many stages of their careers. Christina’s journey with the firm reflects that philosophy, and we are proud to have her as a role model for our associates and team members as they grow, shape their practices, and build their careers with us. Stories like hers are part of what makes our firm special, and we are incredibly proud to welcome her back in this new leadership role.

Christina’s experience strengthens our ability to provide thoughtful, strategic counsel to hotel and restaurant owners and operators navigating an increasingly complex labor and employment landscape.

Outside of her practice, Christina is an avid Lakers and Dodgers fan and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

We are thrilled to welcome Christina back and look forward to what we will continue building together.
