The general practice.

Business law is a broad set of rules that structure and govern economic activity. It encompasses, in particular, commercial law and corporate law, two essential pillars for the creation, operation, and regulation of businesses.

This is at the very heart of our expertise: virtually all of the investments we represent are based on commercial leases. In addition, many of our clients—even those not involved in managed residential investments—face challenges related to the enforcement or negotiation of their leases.

Labor law governs the relationship between an employer and its employees, a relationship based on a relationship of subordination, which is the defining characteristic of an employment contract. We assist our clients both in drafting contracts and in litigation, particularly in cases involving dismissals without valid and serious cause.

We handle cases in both white-collar criminal law—particularly when the criminal liability of corporate officers is at issue—and general criminal law. We represent our clients, whether they are victims or defendants, in cases involving offenses such as fraud, breach of trust, theft, and receiving stolen property.

Administrative law governs all relationships between public entities, as well as their relationships with private individuals. Our practice focuses on two main types of litigation: actions for abuse of authority (annulment or revocation of a decision) and general litigation (liability of public entities).

Construction law governs all rules applicable to the construction of private buildings and regulates the relationships among the various parties involved. Our services cover the three main stages of a construction project: during construction, at the time of acceptance and delivery, and after acceptance.

We assist co-owners with all disputes that may arise within the condominium association, whether they involve conflicts with their property manager or litigation initiated by the co-owners’ association against third parties.

Family law governs the legal relationships among members of the same family, particularly with regard to marriage, separation, and parentage. We support our clients through the various stages of their family lives, whether through out-of-court settlements or legal proceedings, to defend their rights and protect their interests.

Banking law governs the relationships between banking institutions and their clients, whether they are individuals or businesses. We assist our clients in their dealings with banks, both by providing advice and representing them in litigation, particularly in disputes related to banking transactions, loans, or breaches of obligation by banking institutions.
