Why are you interested in practising law?
The law is complex and always changing, which will make for an interesting and stimulating career.
Why did you choose to work at Davies?
I chose to work at Davies because I wanted to be at a firm that works on complex, high-stakes matters. Davies offers a challenging, yet collegial environment and everyone I met was friendly, passionate and generous with their time.
What experience, job or internship have you learned the most from or found most rewarding?
As a student clerk in the criminal chambers of the Court of Québec, I had the opportunity to work on various cases with the judge. I learned how to assess credibility, developed my legal research skills and learned first-hand how judges make decisions.
