As a litigator, Stéphanie is not afraid to take on complex and difficult files and handles every case with thoroughness and attention to detail. A hard and smart worker, she rose to the status of equity partner in record time in a predominantly traditional male partnership.

 

A strength that has distinguished Stéphanie in her practice is her ability to analyze a situation from different perspectives, seeking to provide the client with a solution that is in their best current interest, considering  possible consequences in the medium to long term. While adopting a big picture approach, she focuses on providing the client with insight on how to avoid potential similar circumstances in the future, whether with regards to eliminating loopholes in contracts or adapting them to Québec law.

 

Clients appreciate her dedication, her ability to identify the issues at stake and her concern for improving their position with respect to eliminating or limiting the risk of litigious situations in future business transactions.

 

Fluent in both French and English, Stéphanie services clients throughout Canada and the United States. They particularly appreciate her responsiveness in dealing with matters in two languages simultaneously, without losing any meaning in the translation.

 

Her value is undoubtedly demonstrated in her no-nonsense approach, where she believes in fully grasping and keeping top of mind what is in the client’s best interest from a competitive, financial and corporate image perspective.

 

In spite of being one of the youngest partners in the firm, Stéphanie was named co-chair of the litigation group. She successfully stepped up to the challenge with respect to the duties involved and established her credibility in this role, accepting the changing and increasing responsibilities that have been imposed. She has played a key role in the organisation of this group’s conference on the topic of “Shareholder Disputes: Issues and Solutions.”

 

As an active member of the Québec Bar, she has also been teaching civil procedure for the past 2 years at l’École du Barreau.
