Maude is positive and cheerful by nature. She is a rigorous and willing collaborator. Her curiosity and sense of responsibility make her a brilliant ally for her colleagues and our customers.
A member of the Quebec Bar, Maude is passionate about alternative dispute resolution methods, as well as indigenous and environmental law.

Her Bar internship with an international law firm enabled her to hone her legal skills, particularly in energy, indigenous and environmental law. Maude also completed a post-graduate diploma in dispute prevention and resolution, through which she was able to develop her ability to produce different types of deliverables, such as intervention plans, group mediations and setting up intervention committees. Since 2023, Maude has also been an accredited mediator with the Institut de médiation et d’arbitrage du Québec (IMAQ).
