Smart & Biggar welcomes articling student Audrey Berteau in Montréal

Smart & Biggar is pleased to welcome articling student Audrey Berteau to our team in Montréal.

Over the course of the next year, Audrey will work alongside Smart & Biggar partners and associates on Canada’s most complex and important IP matters. She will have the opportunity to work in a team-based environment to solve and address clients' most pressing IP issues and benefit from coaching and guidance from Canada’s leading IP lawyers.

Audrey comes to Smart & Biggar having completed her Law B.C.L./J.D. at McGill University. While at McGill, Audrey served as a senior editor of the McGill Journal of Law and Health from 2018-2019. As a testament to her strong academic standing, she was awarded multiple Bursaries, including the J W McConnell Scholarship and the George S Challies Memorial Award, and was included on the Dean’s Honour List in her third year of study.

In addition to her studies, Audrey also worked as a teaching assistant for the course Judicial Institutions and Civil Procedure, with Dr Amanda Gibeault, and as a Legal Methodology Tutorial Leader, in which she instructed first-year law students in reading techniques, legal research, legal writing and oral pleading.

In her year at Smart & Biggar, Audrey will gain a well-rounded experience in patents, trademarks, copyright and related litigation, and discover what it means to be at their best among the most elite practitioners in intellectual property law.
