About Julie Barrette

Julie Barrette is counsel at Gowling WLG in Ottawa, with work that centres on health law and medical defence. The work includes acting for the Canadian Medical Protective Association and its member physicians.

Barrette is fully bilingual and doesn't just speak French and English: the practice runs in both. That fits a career that has crossed provincial lines, with a call to the Quebec bar in 2008 and to Ontario's the following year, and with time spent in public sector and private sector roles in Québec as well as Ontario before coming to Gowling WLG.

Teaching has been part of the picture too. For several years, Barrette gave courses in the University of Ottawa's Civil Law section, the same university where the lawyer earned both a civil law degree and a common law degree, later adding a master's from the University of Cambridge.
