My practice is centered on transactional and corporate matters, with an emphasis on the technology sector. I developed my expertise with two preeminent national law firms as well as in-house roles with innovative startups and, more recently, with two rapidly expanding Montreal law firms. Before embarking on my legal career, I worked in the banking industry across Canada, the United States and France, acquiring substantial business experience which continues to help my business-minded, practical approach.
Clients appreciate my responsiveness and the care I bring to address their concerns proactively and to finding business-oriented, successful solutions. I work with my clients through all phases of their development – assisting with company formation, capital structuring, venture capital investments, corporate governance and shareholder matters, as well as acquisitions and divestitures. Additionally, I provide counsel on joint ventures and strategic partnerships both domestically and internationally, collaborative R&D arrangements, licensing agreement, intellectual property protection, and employment-related issues. My expertise has garnered industry recognition, including acknowledgement by Best Lawyers in Canada for Mergers and Acquisitions.
Beyond my professional commitments, I served as the President of the Board of Directors for Microcredit Montreal, where I volunteered for over 12 years, and I am actively involved with Réseau Capital. In my leisure time, i enjoy cooking and enjoying food with family and friends, hiking with our dogs and visiting my extended family in the Pays Basque, France.
