Christina Miller
Principal Associate - Commercial
"I am a commercial lawyer with an in-house background, having previously worked in the oil and gas sector with a particular interest in the subsea industry.”
I joined Higgs LLP in 2026 as part of the acquisition of Vialex, which I joined in 2016. I am a member of the legal counsel service team and handle all types of commercial contracts, from general terms and conditions to more complex manufacturing and design agreements.
Prior to this, I worked in-house in the oil and gas sector for an integrated industrial and asset-integrity service provider in a frontline role embedded within its operational business streams. This led me to understand the frontline, day-to-day issues that arise as a service provider (in both complex and high-value supplier and customer relationships).
As a member of the legal counsel service team, I advise on a wide range of commercial matters, as an in-house adviser would, but in a private practice setting. I enjoy learning about our clients' businesses, which allows me to provide advice tailored to their business and risk appetite.
Outside my Legal qualifications, I have gained APM-accredited project management qualifications at Levels D and E and a BIMCO Diploma for Time Charters.
- Drafted and negotiated vessel charters on behalf of clients in the oil and gas, renewables and other sectors

- Acted for a major family-owned engineering group on a range of matters, including intellectual property advice
- Assisted with a large project involving concession agreements for a large UK airport
- Assisted a national animal charity with a key commercial collaboration agreement
- Adviser to a world-leading hybrid, artificial and natural sports surface provider for high-profile events and sporting clubs
