About Christine Rose
Christine Rose Fitzgerald built an early academic foundation in political science before turning to law. She earned a B.A. in Political Science from Rutgers University, New Brunswick/Piscataway in 1987. A decade later she received her J.D. from Boston College Law School in 1997. Her legal education set the stage for a career that began at a large New York firm and later settled into practice in the Northeast.
Her first professional role after law school was as an associate at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP in 1997. That position placed her in a firm known for transactional and litigation work, where newly minted lawyers often gain exposure to complex matters and a demanding docket. The experience at Stroock provided an entry point into private practice and the legal community in the region.
Fitzgerald is admitted to practice in Massachusetts and has held membership in the Massachusetts Bar since 1997. She is also admitted in New York and has secured the ability to appear before the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Records indicate an additional professional membership beginning in 2001 that continues to the present. Over the course of her career she has navigated both state and federal practice requirements and maintained active standing in the jurisdictions listed on her profile.
Today she is affiliated with Belcher Starr & Fitzgerald LLP. The firm listing ties her to a practice based in the Northeast, where she continues to represent clients and appear in relevant courts. Her career path reflects a movement from a large metropolitan firm environment into a practice concentrated on matters arising in Massachusetts, with admissions that allow for representation in New York and in the First Circuit. She practices at Belcher Starr & Fitzgerald LLP, handling legal matters across Massachusetts and participating in work that may extend to New York and the First Circuit.
