Chapters

Québec

The Québec Chapter of the Women's White Collar Defense Association, launched on May 4, 2021, aims to provide networking, programming and business development opportunities for women lawyers and other professionals working in white collar defense both at the provincial and federal levels in Montréal, Québec City, and their surrounding areas.

In doing so, the Québec Chapter intends to honor the dynamism, bilingualism and cultural diversity of the women practicing in white collar defense in Montreal and Québec City and to provide them with opportunities to connect with each other and with the other WWCDA members around the globe. The Chapter intends to host a wide array of events, including guest speakers, mentoring sessions, and formal and informal networking events.
