Along with her work at Dentons, Marie-Hélène is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Law of the Université de Sherbrooke. Her research interests focus on civil law, construction law, contracts law, and contract law theory. She holds a Master of Laws from the London School of Economics and Political Science. During her graduate studies, she focused on the British approach to public-private partnerships (PPPs) for infrastructure projects and studied the barriers to the use of this approach in Québec.

Her doctoral thesis focuses on the analysis of the civil law rules governing the execution of contracts of enterprise and their application when carrying out major construction projects.

Marie-Hélène represents a variety of clients, including general and specialized contractors, project owners, suppliers and manufacturers. She counsels her clients on major construction projects, and has been called upon to carry out various mandates, ranging from dispute prevention (through the revision of tender documents, tenders and construction contracts and the provision of legal advice), to the management of disputes and the conduction of litigations arising from major infrastructure projects (including representation before arbitral and judicial courts).
