Micheline Dessureault

A Quebec City lawyer, Micheline is a pioneer in international business and an expert in intellectual property. She is also a trademark agent. Indeed, she concentrated her practice in these areas at a time when very few small and medium size businesses were present on the international scene, were active internationally or were involved in innovation. Her clientele is made up of Canadian manufacturers, technological companies and service providers targeting international markets, but also of foreign corporations interested in the Canadian market. For the past 15 years, Micheline has acted as an accredited “expert-advisor in innovation” with ADRIQ (Association pour le développement de la recherche et de l’innovation du Québec) in matters of international trade, business law and intellectual property. She is also a member of the board of directors of ADRIQ. She is a member of the Licensing Executives Society (LES) and of the International Trademark Association (INTA). Micheline exercised diplomatic functions from 1997 to 2024 as the Honorary Vice-Consul for Mexico in Quebec City. Micheline is passionate about international affairs and enjoys interacting daily with different cultures from all around the world. Being connected to the world and using her creativity to find the best solutions for her clients, to provide strategic advice and to accompany them in their international expansion plans, their innovative ideas and the protection of their intellectual property assets, are what motivates her. Micheline is a dynamic, audacious woman who has an open outlook on the world and a great adaptive capacity. She is a team player and is a lawyer dedicated to her clients’ success.
