Focus on the Career of our Head of the Business Immigration Group

Our partner and head of the Business Immigration Group, Julie Lessard, spoke to Canadian Lawyer magazine about her exceptional legal journey.

Her passion for business immigration led her to set up her own firm at the age of 25, before joining BCF 9 years later.

“I want to be an expert, I want to keep growing as a partner, but I really feel the need to also be active in the business community. I have an opinion on what’s happening in immigration law and regulations. I want to be able to speak out and try to change things,” she explains.
