HEC Montréal student honoured by the Canadian Tax Foundation
May 7, 2025
Shawn Woodman, a student in the Maîtrise en droit (LL. M) – fiscalité [Master of Laws (LLM) – Taxation] program, received the MTax Award of the Canadian Tax Foundation (CTF) on April 3 this year. The Foundation also presented an award to Marie-Maude Lefebvre, LL. B., M. Fisc., a master’s student in taxation at Université de Sherbrooke. These $2,000 scholarships recognize the accomplishments of the student who has obtained the highest cumulative average in their cohort.
“My Master’s degree course at HEC Montréal was extremely rewarding, largely thanks to the continued support and dedication of my teachers throughout my journey. I would like to thank my colleagues who supported me throughout my master’s program as well as my family, without whom this award would not have been possible. This generous scholarship from the Canadian Tax Foundation further motivates me to develop my skills and actively participate in the tax community.”
The LLM – Taxation program provides in-depth training in tax law and is offered jointly with the Faculty of Law at Université de Montréal. The program includes courses related to international transactions, taxation, corporate taxation and inheritance, among other things, and is offered in HEC Montréal’s Hélène Desmarais Building, at the heart of the city’s business district.
Shawn Woodman practices tax and corporate law at Morency, Société d’avocats.
