Global Law Experts is pleased to announce the enrollment of Micheline Dessureault as an Exclusive Member. This recognition highlights her dedicated practice in international business in Canada and her experience advising clients on the connection between cross border commercial activity, innovation and intellectual property. Her profile reflects the kind of practical, globally minded counsel Global Law Experts is proud to feature: advice that is commercially aware, technically solid, and attuned to what businesses need when they operate across jurisdictions.

In Canada, Micheline Dessureault’s work stands out for its integrated approach. She brings the world of international commerce and dealings together with the one of innovation and intellectual property together. A partner at Therrien Couture Joli-Coeur LLP (“TCJ”), she functions as a lawyer, trademark agent and currently as director of the Intellectual Property Law practice group, having served formerly as the Director of the International Business Law practice group. That range of responsibilities signals a practice designed to address the full picture. Rather than focusing on one narrow legal issue, she supports the strategic and regulatory dimensions businesses must manage in a connected global marketplace. Her goal is to help clients expand their markets internationally and proceed with confidence when domestic and international expectations converge.

Her experience in international business law, whether inbound to or outbound from Canada, also reflects a clear understanding of how legal strategy supports growth.

Her practice is described as combining international business expansion and cross-border issues, commercialization, innovation strategies and trademarks, being hands-on in negotiating, drafting and implementing complex international commercial deals and overseing brand management and prosecution.

For organizations building or maintaining a presence beyond a single jurisdiction, this combination is especially relevant. Effective legal guidance in international matters does more than identify rules. It helps clients connect their commercial goals with the legal structures that govern expansion, collaboration, and market entry. Micheline Dessureault’s approach delivers practical support for business development while protecting the assets that drive competitive strength.

Micheline Dessureault also advises local and multinational clients on IP strategy, trademark enforcement, and regulatory compliance across Canada and beyond. This breadth is a strong indicator of the depth of her practice. In cross border business, intellectual property issues are rarely separate from broader commercial concerns, particularly when brands, products, and services move across borders. By helping clients develop and maintain coherent IP strategies, she supports long term protection of commercial identity and innovation. Through her guidance, she assists businesses in meeting the practical requirements that come with operating under different legal frameworks. Together, these responsibilities show a lawyer positioned at the center of modern international commerce.

A key strength of her practice in Canada is her ability to coordinate cross border initiatives. International business frequently requires collaboration among corporate legal teams, business leaders, and regulatory stakeholders in multiple jurisdictions. Micheline Dessureault’s experience includes working not only with commercial clients, but also with corporate counsels, trademark teams, other professionals and regulatory agencies. This kind of coordination is vital for organizations that need legal consistency across markets while still responding to local requirements. It also demonstrates that she can do more than provide advice. She helps translate legal strategy into real business execution, reducing fragmentation and strengthening overall legal positioning for clients.

Her international business practice in Canada extends to complex commercial agreements, such as technology transfers, licensing, franchising, joint ventures, distribution and representation agreements and R&D agreements. These areas often bring together significant commercial opportunity and complex legal considerations. Micheline Dessureault’s experience suggests a practice grounded in the real conditions businesses face when expanding through partnerships and commercial arrangements. She helps clients manage the legal issues that arise in these transactions while keeping broader strategic interests in view. This balance between precision and usefulness is central to the kind of counsel valued in a global legal network.

Clients also benefit from her emphasis on clear and accessible communication. International business matters can involve complex legal concepts. Micheline Dessureault is recognized for explaining these issues in practical terms that business leaders can understand and act on. That ability matters because effective legal service in international commerce depends not only on knowledge, but also on translating complexity into decisions. Her client focused approach reflects the needs of organizations operating across diverse teams and markets.

From the perspective of Global Law Experts, this blend of technical expertise, strategic thinking, and practical communication aligns closely with the standards expected of an Exclusive Member. The network is designed to spotlight lawyers who can support clients facing sophisticated legal questions in a global context. Micheline Dessureault’s profile demonstrates exactly that capability. Her practice does not treat international business as an abstract concept. It is rooted in the daily realities of successfully expanding to other markets, structuring cross border relationships, protecting brand assets and maintaining regulatory awareness in a changing environment. That is the type of expertise organizations rely on when they need reliable legal support in Canada and beyond.

Her leadership role within TCJ further reinforces the strength of her professional profile. Serving as a lawyer, trademark agent and director of the IP practice group, and having formerly served as the director of the International Business practice group, reflects both responsibility and confidence in her ability to guide work across a demanding subject area. It also suggests that she is trusted to lead initiatives that sit at the intersection of international commercial and intellectual property matters. For Global Law Experts, membership is not simply about title. It is about the value a lawyer brings to the network. Micheline Dessureault’s position and practice focus demonstrate a meaningful contribution to the understanding and management of international business issues in Canada.

The Canadian dimension of her practice is especially important. Her work is clearly rooted in Canada while remaining responsive to international requirements. That balance is essential for clients whose success depends on aligning Canadian legal considerations with broader global objectives. In a business environment influenced by multiple legal regimes, counsel must be able to think locally and globally at the same time. Micheline Dessureault supports that objective by helping clients address Canadian legal needs while staying mindful of the international context in which they operate. This ability to connect domestic practice with international realities is a hallmark of strong global business legal support.

Her profile also reflects a forward-looking mindset. She stays engaged with evolving intellectual property frameworks and cross border trade rules. International business law continues to change, and legal strategies cannot remain static. A lawyer serving clients in this space must be attentive to developments and capable of adapting guidance over time. Micheline Dessureault’s practice reflects that awareness, which helps clients pursue both compliance and growth.

For organizations operating in international markets, this kind of legal support is highly valuable. A well managed brand can be a major commercial asset, but it must be protected through consistent legal strategy. Cross border licensing can create new opportunities, but it requires careful structuring to preserve rights and manage risk. Joint ventures can generate significant value, but they depend on clear governance and legal alignment. Micheline Dessureault’s international business practice in Canada addresses these realities with a disciplined and commercially aware approach. Her work provides grounded support that helps businesses move forward while protecting the strength of their brand and intellectual property interests.
