Desautels alumnus appointed Managing Partner at major law firm

Published: 2 June 2017

Philippe Johnson (BCom'92) is a newly-minted Managing Partner at the Montreal offices of Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg. But he could easily have gone down the business route.

In fact, he did: A love of finance first landed him at Desautels as an undergraduate, then moving on to work for HSBC in Vancouver.

So how did that turn into a law degree and a high-profile job at a key Canadian business law firm?

In a recent Droit-Inc interview, he discusses what makes him tick, what made him switch careers, and what he sees as his biggest challenges to date.
