BIOGRAPHY
I started my professional career in a leading international law firm in Montreal where I worked for six years before joining Blue HF in 2018. This transition was first and foremost motivated by my desire to work closely with entrepreneurs to help them develop their businesses and achieve their goals. At Blue HF, I work with a reputable and pragmatic team that pursues the goal of providing quality legal services at a reasonable price. My practice covers the entire life cycle of the start-up business - creation, organizational work, day-to-day business matters, equity or debt financing, mergers and acquisitions, and business combinations. I represent both issuers and investors in investment transactions, as well as sellers and buyers in M&A transactions.
I like to spend my free time playing sports with my friends, listening to music and spending quality time with my wife and two children.
