Sandrine leads our U.S. immigration practice. An immigrant herself, she first got into U.S. immigration to help out a dear friend avoid deportation. She was hooked. After a ten-year international career with the UN in African war zones dealing with international war crimes courts and disarming child soldiers, moving on to help clients fight immigration cases before U.S. government agencies was right down her alley.
A first child and another immigration move later, Sandrine joined private practice in Canada, where she advises clients from the four corners of the world on relocation strategies to Canada or the United States. From artists to entrepreuneurs, investors to I.T. consultants, athletes to inventors, she excels at elaborating strategies that set our clients on the path to their own immigration journey. She also has a knack for helping clients overcome criminal and other inadmissibilities.
As Sandrine’s long list of law degrees and bar memberships can attest, she has a passion for law, that is almost only surpassed by her love of anything covered in chocolate.
