Episode 32 | Legal 101 in Your Business with Adrienne Forgeron
Adrienne is a business lawyer who provides legal advice to the Vancouver Island Health Authority by day and legal training to business owners by night. In her evening work, she goes by the name The Gentle Lawyer with the not-so-covert mission of showing women business owners how law – both English common and natural – can and should work in their favour.
Adrienne grew up near St. Brieux, Saskatchewan and achieved degrees in business and law before taking a winding career path through private practice, in-house counsel, entrepreneurship, government and in the areas of law, professional photography and healing arts. She now resides in Nanaimo, BC with her wonderful husband, Gregor, and their two fun-loving young children – Finn and Francesca. As an extroverted introvert, Adrienne loves nothing more than meeting friends for deep conversations over coffee and then cozying in with a fiction novel after the kids are fast asleep. :)
