Practice & Advocacy

I’m a Montreal-based lawyer with a practice rooted in a commitment to social, environmental, and economic justice. The law firm I work for is known for class actions and public interest litigation in areas like constitutional law, environmental law, and corporate accountability. I have degrees in both the common law and civil law from McGill University and am a licensed member of both the Law Society of Ontario and the Barreau du Québec. I’m also a fellow at the Citizen Lab, where I’ve been affiliated since 2017.

As a former Supreme Court clerk to the Chief Justice of Canada, I see appellate and public interest litigation as important tools for law reform. My practice as an advocate is informed by experience working on high-profile research and advocacy issues for organizations like the Citizen Lab, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, and the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic, among others.

Speaking & Writing

I have taught one course a year at McGill University’s Faculty of Law since 2020, including the upper-year seminars Law and Poverty, Technology and the Charter, and Disobedience and the Rule of Law.

I’m often asked to speak on topics related to constitutional and human rights, law reform, and emerging technology. I believe in the importance of public conversation, and—from testimony before Parliamentary committees to keynote talks at hacker conferences—my intention has been to engage audiences on these difficult issues with integrity and impact. I am also the author or co-author of peer-reviewed journal articles, major reports, policy briefs, and international submissions.
