She appears before the Superior Court and has worked on matters involving high-value assets in matrimonial disputes and intellectually demanding appellate litigation. She has experience in such matters as applications relating to third-party examinations, interim procedural relief, abusive proceedings allegations, and judicial review in sensitive family contexts. She has acted as co-counsel with our Founding Partner, Anne-France Goldwater, in exceptionally complex divorce and constitutional proceedings. Émylia joined the firm through the highly competitive articling student recruitment programme known as La course aux stages and completed her Bar internship under the supervision of our Managing Partner, Marie Anne Martin. During her studies she gained experience at a private family law firm, the Montreal Courthouse, the legal department of the CISSS des Laurentides, and the Tribunal administratif du logement, and completed her clinical activity in the Youth Division of the Court of Quebec under the Honourable Lise Gagnon and Catherine Brousseau. She earned her LL.B. from the Université de Sherbrooke in 2023 (Dean's Honour Roll each year), following a DEC in Paralegal Technology at Collège Ahuntsic where a final-year internship in family law set the direction she has followed since. She joined the Quebec Bar in 2024 and is a member of the Quebec Family Law Lawyers Association (AAADFQ). Our Founding Partner and colleagues often describe Émylia as exceptionally sharp and insightful. Bookish, quick-minded, and analytical, she has a talent for identifying the core legal issue in a file and distilling complex records into the points that truly matter. She works in French and English. If not a lawyer, Émylia would have become a legal scholar, legislative advisor, or legal journalist. She is drawn, irresistibly, to the rigorous study, interpretation, and real-world application of the law. ##### LITIGATION & PRACTICE HIGHLIGHTS - [_Droit de la famille — 26563 (2026)_](https://canlii.ca/t/kkqjm) - Represented the appellant before the Quebec Court of Appeal in a complex family law appeal involving custody, parental authority, child support, daycare expense allocation, and mobility rights. - [_Droit de la famille — 2660 (2026)_](https://canlii.ca/t/khr6n) - Appeared as co-counsel for the applicant before the Court of Appeal on an application for leave to appeal the third-party examination order rendered in 2025 QCCS 4527; the Court dismissed the application, finding the impugned judgment was not unreasonable and confirming the trial court's discretion in authorizing third-party examinations in high-asset matrimonial litigation. - [_Protection de la jeunesse — 26160 (2026)_](https://canlii.ca/t/khz30) - Served as co-counsel to the parents before the Superior Court on an application for a stay of proceedings pending judicial review in a ultra-orthodox community youth protection matter, initially involving approximately 135 children and allegations of educational neglect; the Court granted a partial stay, ordering that certain pending steps proceed only after the Second Judicial Review was decided, carefully balancing the urgency of child protection with the parents' right to meaningful judicial review. - [_Droit de la famille — 251794 (2025)_](https://canlii.ca/t/kh24k) - Co-counsel to a Monaco-based third party (beneficial owner of a multinational group) before the Superior Court on the plaintiff's application in a high-value divorce (32-year marriage, income above $2.5M) to examine the third party on hidden trusts and the defendant's financial interests; the Court authorized a three-hour examination limited to specified topics concerning Trust A, the defendant's interests, and benefits received, framing the scope of third-party discovery under the Code of Civil Procedure. - [_Bessette c.
