Partner Christine Allen Advances Conversation on Women’s Financial Empowerment at She Builds Capital
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. — April 21, 2026 — Law Stein Anderson Partner Christine M. Allen, Esq. served as a featured panelist at She Builds Capital, a dynamic forum hosted by OC Forum that brought together leaders across industries for a candid conversation on building financial confidence and understanding today’s complex economy.
Allen joined a distinguished panel of speakers, including Natasha Mata, Senior Vice President and Regional Bank Executive at Wells Fargo, and Lindsey Monina, Wealth Advisor at Knightsbridge Wealth Management, with the discussion moderated by Sue Parks, President and CEO of Orange County United Way.
The program created space for open and honest dialogue about the role financial clarity plays in shaping women’s personal and professional paths. Panelists shared perspectives on major financial milestones and discussed barriers that have historically limited women’s wealth-building and wealth-preservation opportunities. They also offered real stories and practical insights on topics ranging from early-career financial decisions to homebuying, family planning, retirement, and estate preparation.
Drawing on her extensive experience in trust litigation, Allen offered a legal perspective on how proactive estate planning and early risk awareness can significantly impact long-term outcomes. She emphasized that engaging the right legal team and addressing issues before they become disputes are key to preserving wealth, minimizing litigation, and supporting families through complex and often emotional transitions.
She Builds Capital reflects a growing movement to encourage more open and accessible conversations around money, equipping women with the tools and confidence to take an active role in their financial futures.
