Mrs. Marie Hostiou, Student-at-law: Montreal & Paris

Bearing a strong interest for commercial law and corporate law, Mrs. Marie Hostiou is specialized in the field of business law, having attained a master's degree in business law from the Université de Paris 2 Panthéon Assas.

Mrs. Hostiou's interests extend to the business world as a whole.  Indeed, she is conscious that the concerns of businesspeople go beyond legal questions. She has thus attended the management program of IAE de Paris (Paris' leading business school), through which she has acquired an essential grounding in the management field.

She has applied her acquired knowledge and skills hands-on by working during one year in the legal direction of a pharmaceutical company's department of real estate investments, Les Laboratoires Servier before passing her law exam to attend Paris Lawyer's College Training School on January 2007.

Starting September 2007, Mrs. Hostiou will continue her practical formation as an intern with the law firm of Lecours, Hébert Lawyers, to both parties' mutual enrichment and following the directions from Dr. Alain Lecours for 6 months.
