In California, Choralyne Dumesnil worked in IP related matters with Me B\u00e9atrice Martinet, partner at Sideman & Bancroft, with Diane Morin in international private law and with professor Catharine A. MacKinnon in sex equality related matters.<\/p>

In 2020, she joined the nonprofit law firm Open Door Legal, where she supported the team handling protection order requests. She also collaborated with the Enough Network of the Equal Rights Advocates (ERA), which addresses sexual harassment in universities.<\/p>

Since 2025, the firm is located 13 rue la Bo\u00e9tie, 75008 Paris.<\/p>
