Nadia Lehoux

It’s easy for me to identify the legal risks and issues while reconciling and responding to your commercial expectations. I have a great ability to persevere in the face of adversity.

I particularly enjoy getting out of my comfort zone; it’s like second nature – pushing me to do my best and exceed my limits. As an athlete and a traveler, this second nature also dictates my choice of sporting activities and trips, as I’m constantly seeking new challenges.
