Meet Your Speaker

PHILIPPE RICHER

Philippe had worn many hats before beginning his career as a lawyer. He spent time in the army, he worked in sales, and for a brief time was a baker at a local bakery. After a divorce, Philippe decided to go to law school in Manitoba. Despite wanting to be a veterinarian as a child and an aspiring comedian later in life (no one found him funny…), he now focusses on running the firm in St. Boniface.

Philippe is also multilingual. After travelling to Mexico more times than one can count, he is completely fluent in tourist Spanish and of course French. He also enjoyed the time he spent touring Europe, experiencing the culture, food and history there. On the weekend Philippe will usually be cycling or skiing. He likes to live actively with his partner, Cheryl.

Philippe is very knowledgeable in multiple areas of law. While he used to practice criminal law, he now mainly focuses on Corporate Law, Real Estate Law, Wills and Estate Planning. He authored the business law course for the Knowledge Bureau and presented at their annual conferences. He also taught the français juridique class at the faculty of law for 5 years. He is currently the president of the St-Boniface francophone chamber of commerce and sits on the board of the Association of francophone jurists of Manitoba.

As a lawyer and co-owner of TLR Law, Philippe Richer has helped countless Manitoba families navigate estate administration with compassion and clarity. With decades of experience in wills and estates law, he will guide you through what to expect and how to succeed.

CHERYL PEARSON

Cheryl developed her legal skills working mostly as a corporate and commercial and real estate lawyer. She has worked on a variety of commercial transactions ranging from helping sole proprietors sell their small business to very large transactions involving US parties. Cheryl enjoys the challenge of negotiating through difficult transactions and fighting for her clients.

Cheryl also enjoys spending time with her spouse (Philippe, the other co-owner), and her dog, Milou (who can often be found under her desk at work.). They like to walk, cycle, ski, hike and run. Cheryl is an avid runner and likes to go on cycling trips with Philippe and Milou (who enjoys either running alongside, or riding in the trailer).
