Our Story

Built on trust, driven by results

2008: The Beginning

Started out as three partners who'd had enough of the stuffy old-school law firms. We wanted something different - a place where corporate clients could get top-tier legal work without the nonsense. Opened our first small office in downtown Montreal with just a receptionist and a dream.

Firm founding

2012: Major Growth

Won a massive commercial litigation case that put us on the map. Suddenly we're handling M&A deals for mid-sized tech companies and startups that were scaling fast. Added 8 new associates that year and moved into the René-Lévesque building where we're still at today.

Growth phase

2017: Specialization

Decided to focus hard on what we do best - corporate law and business litigation. Turned down cases that didn't fit our wheelhouse. Built out dedicated practice groups for IP protection and employment law. This is when we really found our groove and our reputation took off.

Specialization

2021: Pandemic Pivot

Like everyone else, we had to adapt fast. Went fully remote within a week, upgraded all our tech, and honestly? Learned we could serve clients way better with hybrid work. Helped dozens of businesses navigate COVID-related legal issues and contract renegotiations. Came out stronger.

Digital transformation

2025: Present Day

We're now a team of 24 lawyers plus support staff, handling everything from startup formations to multi-million dollar disputes. Still based in Montreal but working with clients across Canada. Still keeping it real, still focused on results over billable hours.

What We're About

We're not here to rack up billable hours or confuse you with legal jargon.

Our mission's pretty straightforward - provide sharp, practical legal advice that actually helps your business move forward. We've seen too many companies get bogged down by lawyers who overcomplicate things. We cut through the noise, focus on what matters, and get you the outcomes you need. Whether it's closing a deal, winning a dispute, or just making sure you're covered, we've got your back.
