Biography

Since 2010, Ann-Sophie has been practicing in complex and politicized environments, from the public sector to nonprofit organizations. Passionate about governance and compliance, she also practices in corporate secretariat, regulatory affairs and administrative law, as well as in educational law.

A lawyer and manager, Ann-Sophie has extensive experience in legal and strategic consulting, project management, change management and crisis management. With her in-depth understanding of public issues and her marked interest in establishing healthy organizational climates, she provides a comprehensive support service for her clients, particularly with regard to governance and compliance: from the analysis of new legislation and organizational diagnosis to the implementation of an action plan, the development of tools and then the implementation of control measures. As part of her practice, she provides awareness and guidance to businesses about lobbying activities. To this end, she gives various legal opinions concerning the need to register mandates in the Quebec registry of lobbyists. She can also act as the person responsible for drafting and publishing these mandates.

Ann-Sophie supports her clients in the drafting and review of contracts and legal documents to ensure their compliance with the provisions of new bills, including the popularization of these in plain language. She also uses her strong communication skills to provide training for all audiences, including members of boards of directors.
