Lavery Welcomes Peter Thériault to its Intellectual Property Group

We are pleased to welcome Peter Thériault as Technical Advisor in Lavery's Intellectual Property group. With over a decade of varied experience in the life sciences, he has cultivated deep expertise in the development and protection of healthcare sector innovations. During his eclectic career, Peter has worked in academic research administration, in pharmaceutical industry R&D, and for contract research organizations (CROs). More specifically, he has consulted on both intellectual property issues and scientific questions. His experience has allowed him to develop a wide range of technical and professional skills, which he has channelled into complex projects in the healthcare sector. "I have always believed in the need to contribute to innovation in the healthcare sector for the benefit of all. That conviction turned into a passion for life sciences during my academic career. Since completing my studies, I have been eager to put this passion to good use, somewhere where I could realize my full potential. I quickly fell under the spell of intellectual property, a fascinating field that is constantly evolving. As fellowship, excellence and leadership are core values, it seemed natural for me to join Lavery's Intellectual Property team to achieve my ambitions. I have now found my place here!"
