Professional activities
In the course of my practice, I have successfully represented a leading real estate company in Quebec, as well as its President, in connection with "Norwich" type orders. I also represented a shopping centre owner in a commercial non-competition clause challenge against one of the largest food retailers in Quebec. Finally, I have on various occasions represented major property managers in injunctive proceedings in commercial lease matters.
