A member of the Barreau du Québec since 2004 and certified in project management, Geneviève bridges legal considerations with business realities to deliver maximum value for her clients. She works with a broad range of businesses and organizations, particularly in the manufacturing, services and technology sectors.
She specializes in all types of business agreements whether negotiating, drafting or reviewing them. She also creates favourable legal frameworks for her clients by engaging the right resources and intervenes in conflict prevention or amicable dispute resolution.
As a true business facilitator, Geneviève connects clients with key stakeholders and organizes trade missions to advance their interests.
