After practicing law for seven years, Anne figured she'd given it enough time to figure out that it really wasn't her cup of tea. Using the writing and research skills she had acquired in law school and at work, she left private practice for work as a policy analyst at the francophone business association, the Conseil économique du Nouveau-Brunswick. Her interest in business and management grew from there and she eventually became the CÉNB's executive director. When Bingham Law announced that they were breaking from the traditional managing partner mold and seeking a CEO, Anne was immediately intrigued by the role which combined both her business and legal backgrounds. Meeting the Bingham team convinced her that this was the job she wanted and she cherishes her role here.
Anne resides in her hometown of Bouctouche. A keen interest in seeing her beloved town shine is what made her choose to take on a role on the Pays de la Sagouine board of directors. Her work in economic development really drove home the importance of education in our province and she has also sat on the board of l'APASE, the organization in charge of adult literacy for the francophone community of southeastern New Brunswick as well as the board of governors of the Collège Communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick.
Anne describes herself as pragmatic and level headed, with good judgment and a good sense of humour. Her colleagues would say she makes too many rules.

Brian is a partner in the Business law group with extensive experience advising clients in both English and French on corporate and commercial matters including mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructuring, succession planning and commercial real estate transactions.
Originally from the Toronto area, Brian arrived in Moncton many years ago to play hockey for the Winnipeg Jets affiliate team the Moncton Hawks. It is here that he met his wife Louise. Despite being a unilingual Anglophone, when his hockey career ended Brian enrolled as a student at the Université de Moncton, a francophone university, and began the process of learning to speak, read and write in French while pursuing his undergraduate degree in Business Administration and ultimately obtaining his law degree. He also played for the university men's hockey team les Aigles Bleus during his studies.
As a teenager Brian played junior hockey with the Oshawa Generals and it was there that he was taught that real success is never measured by individual achievements but rather by the accomplishments of the "Team". Brian has adhered to this principle throughout his legal career.
Bryan joined Bingham Law after articling at a boutique personal injury litigation firm in Moncton which gave him extensive experience in insurance litigation from the Plaintiff's side. Bryan chose to join Bingham Law due to the firm's reputation and the opportunity to expand his skillset into insurance defence and commercial litigation.

My role is to get a difficult insurance file from "problem" to "fair resolution" as efficiently as possible
Emmy understands that the law, legal processes and documents can seem complicated and intimidating to most people. She enjoys working at Bingham where we have worked hard to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. While the work is treated seriously, an approachable, casual setting greets the client.
Emmy loves rules, structure and order and she enjoys the odd exceptions to the rules as well! That is why insurance policies, with coverages, definitions, exclusions and exceptions appeal to her so much. She chose the insurance litigation field because she enjoys the challenge of putting together the puzzle pieces of a solid litigation strategy, building the case for her client by gathering the necessary evidence and the back and forth of the adversarial process and the negotiation strategies and tactics.
After doing insurance litigation for 18 years, when her clients call, they expect her to provide clear answers with no-nonsense strategies, and to accept the challenge of fixing the problem. That is what this strong-willed, adaptable, organized, logical lawyer delivers.

Juliette is a goal oriented, determined, very positive person who tends to keep others around her positive. She likes to be challenged and that is part of the reason she decided on law as a career. She loves reading and writing and wanted to work in a field where she would be constantly learning and constantly engaged.
During her undergrad (she majored in political science) Juliette did a study abroad semester in Lorient, France. She is quite proud of the fact that she did this, by herself at the age of 21 and in her second language. As a university student, Juliette worked with Public Legal Education in Fredericton where she helped people who did not have the means to access a lawyer find accessible and useful resources. This summer job turned into a part time job during law school and boosted Juliette's self-confidence as she realized that, even though she was only beginning to learn about law, she was able to hone in on issues and find ways to help people.
Juliette's ability to discern the issues out of a range of facts will serve her well in her litigation practice. She practices in the insurance and general litigation fields and has developed a particular interest in Estate matters.
