Christina Donato Saler focuses primarily on shareholder litigation, representing public pension funds and other institutional investors as plaintiffs in class actions against publicly traded corporations and their officers and directors for securities fraud or breaches of fiduciary duty. In recent years, Christina has expanded her representation to serving as outside counsel to state attorneys general and, in working with those state enforcement offices, has recovered over $1 billion from pharmacy benefit managers that were overcharging state funded health plans, including Medicaid plans. 

Christina also advises clients on regulatory trends and legal decisions that may impact the management of their funds. In this capacity, she is the editor of the Shareholder Advocate, a quarterly publication focused on legal issues relevant to public and Taft-Hartley pension funds and the institutional investor community. 

Prior to joining Cohen Milstein in 2017, Christina was a securities class action litigator at a nationally recognized plaintiffs law firm, where she distinguished herself as a skilled litigator and trusted client counselor of public pension funds and other institutional investors. She also has substantial trial experience prosecuting First Amendment cases involving individual plaintiffs against media defendants. 

In 2023, Governor Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania reappointed Christina to the board of the Pennsylvania Humanities, whose mission is to find ways of using the humanities to help people take action for positive change in their lives and communities, and to demonstrate this effectiveness to leaders and organizations invested in making Pennsylvania a better place to live. Ms. Saler is a member of the executive committee and chairs the Government Advocacy Committee. 

In law school, Christina was selected for the Rutgers University Law Review and served as the lead articles editor.  

Christina started her professional career in advertising where she managed various advertising campaigns and Verizon’s spokesperson contract with James Earl Jones.
