Behind Ophélie’s sparkling eyes and pink headphones lies a formidable jurist, both rigorous and empathetic. Right from the start of her bachelor’s degree in civil law at the Université de Montréal, Ophélie was determined to embark on a legal career guided by a quest for social justice. Strongly committed to human rights, she became involved in housing law, health law and women’s rights. Passionate about creative expression and a proud finalist in the International Grand Final of the P.G.L. dictation, she has contributed as an editor and director for a magazine specializing in access to justice and for the student newspaper Le Pigeon dissident. With a dream of litigating issues of public interest, she also represented the Université de Montréal in the national Laskin Moot Court Competition.

In addition to her brilliant ideas, Ophélie spreads her dynamism and joy of living throughout the firm. Always on the lookout for new discoveries, she marvels at the virtues of nature and savours the pleasure of meals shared with loved ones, the vibrancy of Montreal’s cultural life and the joy of running in Mont-Royal Park. Learning to play thepiano and to sing since childhood has enabled her to develop the precision, creativity, listening skills, sensitivity, and open-mindedness she believes are essential to the practice of law. The music that accompanies her everywhere inspires her to transpose these qualities to each of her mandates.

Ophélie is a member of the TJL team since autumn 2022. Initially a law student, then an articling student, she continues to evolve within the firm as a lawyer. She looks forward to deepening and enriching her involvement in a wide diversity of cases, all of which guarantee better access to justice and greater collective well-being.
