She has extensive experience in unionized workplaces and provides advice and support to employers for bargaining, collective agreement drafting and interpretation, and arbitrations. Marie-Pier further assists clients with employment and human rights matters, and conducts independent workplace investigations of complaints received by clients. Marie-Pier also retains a robust practice in administrative law, representing clients in statutory appeals and judicial reviews before the courts.

Prior to joining the firm, Marie-Pier was a partner at a large regional firm and practiced in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut for over seven years, where she assisted First Nations, Inuit and Métis clients with their labour, employment and administrative law needs.

She began her legal career as an articling student and volunteer counsel at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, where she appeared before the United Nations Dispute Tribunal and the United Nations Appeals Tribunal.
