Outside of his legal career, Richer is passionate about physical training and martial arts. He actively practices karate-do, judo, and other styles of striking and grappling discipline. Deeply influenced by Japanese martial arts, he embraces the Zen philosophy of Shoshin—the beginner’s mind—characterized by openness, eagerness, and freedom from preconceptions. This mindset informs his approach to legal practice, enabling him to continuously learn, adapt, and respond to evolving challenges in the legal industry.
