BIOGRAPHY
After my law studies at McGill, I completed my internship with the Quebec Bar and the Ontario Bar as an articling student with the Honorable Judge Jocelyne Gagné at the Federal Court of Canada in Ottawa. Back in Montreal, I worked as an associate at a national firm in the business law and technology groups. As such, I acquired experience in corporate and commercial law, while specializing in privacy, intellectual property, cybersecurity and data protection law.
I joined blue HF in September 2019 to pursue my goal of marrying business and technology. I was delighted to join this dynamic team which has developed unique expertise in technology law. As a founding member of the Legal Clinic for Start-ups at McGill, I have long been passionate about advising innovative companies and blue HF offers me the opportunity to pursue this vocation every day.
Outside of the office, I use my time to enjoy all the books, movies, concerts, podcasts and art exhibitions I have access to, to explore the many neighborhoods of Montreal and to share excellent meals with family and friends.
