Professional Mandates
I am consulted on a variety of issues that may arise at any time during a construction project, from the pre-contractual phase, including the call for tenders, right through to closing. In particular, I represent my clients in lawsuits as an aggrieved bidder for claims for contractual balances, additional costs and site extensions, as well as all other construction claims. I am also involved in litigation involving the Quebec Bid Depository Office, various construction-related bonds and insurance. I also intervene to defend the interests of my clients who face a co-contractor under the protection of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act or the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.
