Mrs. Marie Hostiou, Student-at-law in Montreal, Canada

Bearing a strong interest for commercial law and corporate law, Mrs. Marie Hostiou is specialized in the field business law, having attained a master's degree in business law from the Université de Paris 2 Panthéon Assas.

Mrs. Hostiou's interests extend to the business world as a whole.  Indeed, she is conscious that the concerns of businesspeople go beyond legal questions.  She has thus attended the management program of IAE de Paris (Paris' leading business school), through which she has acquired an essential grounding in the management field.

She has applied her acquired knowledge and skills hands-on by working during one year in the legal direction of a pharmaceutical company's department of real estate investments, Les Laboratoires Servier.

In January 2007, Mrs. Hostiou successfully passed the entry exams to attend the Paris Bar School.  Starting September 2007, Mrs. Hostiou will continue her practical formation as an intern with the law firm of Lecours & Lessard, to both parties' mutual enrichment.
