Named “One to Watch” in corporate law by Best Lawyers, Julie-Anne handles mergers and acquisitions, SPAC transactions, venture financings, divestitures, joint ventures, restructurings, and other domestic and cross-border deals — including platform acquisitions, add-ons, and exits for private equity sponsors and venture investors.

Alongside transactional work, she also advises social enterprise firms, impact investors, and nonprofits on corporate governance, sustainability, and impact measurement.
