For your specific needs

360° Compliance Program

A flexible solution for a rapidly changing environment: from targeted interventions to comprehensive support.

Secure your operations. Elevate your business.

Quebec’s business landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. Law 25 (personal data and privacy), Law 96 (French language), corporate transparency, governance, competition… Companies must navigate stricter regulations, higher expectations, and increasingly complex risk management.

For businesses, this “regulatory tsunami” brings two major risks:

  1. Legal risk: Penalties, fines, and litigation
  2. Operational risk: Administrative burden and decision-making paralysis

Whether you need occasional support or full compliance guidance, I step in exactly where your organization needs it.

Practical solutions tailored to your operational reality

My 360° Compliance Program helps organizations structure, secure, and simplify internal governance without unnecessary bureaucracy. I translate complex obligations into simple, actionable practices for your teams.

Corporate Governance and Legal Obligations

I ensure corporate compliance and administrative rigor:
