Annie Claude Beauchemin practises civil and commercial litigation, and has exceptional experience with bankruptcy and insolvency cases.
What made you choose your area of practice? I always liked justice. Not a regime where everybody would get exactly the same thing. The complex variety of justice, requiring a lot of thought…
Your greatest professional satisfaction? Pleading before the Court of Appeal.
What was the most embarrassing moment in your career? I was having lunch with a client and I got getting carried away while narrating something. I violently hit my full glass, triggering a flood of tomato juice that instantly spilled in the client’s plate, carrying his piece of salmon: the whole mess ended directly on his shirt… Never in my life have I been so embarrassed…
On a desert island, what would you carry? Lemme see… Food or a hair dryer? I guess I can always find some kind of food on the island. All I’ll need is a source of power for the dryer.
Thanks, Annie Claude. And next time we have lunch with you, we’ll sit away from the table.
