Chantal Bellavance graduated summa cum laude from the University of Ottawa’s faculty of law, being awarded the Dean’s prize for best overall achievement in her cohort. Whilst in law school, she spent a summer abroad where she completed a certificate program at the University of Cambridge, honing her constitutional law skills. 

Since joining the office, Chantal has worked on cases at all levels of court proceedings, including the Supreme Court of Canada. Chantal practices criminal law with compassion, open-mindedness, and craftsmanship-like devotion. To her, the title of defense attorney is not only a job, but an identity to wear proudly. 

In addition to conducting a full-time practice, Chantal is currently enrolled at McGill to pursue graduate studies in law. Some of her written work has been published in a variety of academic law journals. 

Before any of this, Chantal worked for many years as an actress, earning credits on many film, TV and stage productions. Some say this might be why her presence in court stands out.
