The advantage of retaining our lawyers
In Quebec, the rules governing family law are numerous and complex, and they change quickly. That is why our family law division offers you lawyers who devote their practice to this area of law. This way, our professionals keep up with the latest legislative and case law developments and hone their professional skills through extensive training devoted exclusively to family law.
Our family lawyers always tell you how things really stand. They understand that family issues are a priority for you and that legal proceedings have a decisive impact on your life and the lives of your loved ones. Our firm has therefore built a team of professionals who show agility, competence and efficiency.
Our lawyers provide legal opinions, advise you and represent you before the various tribunals, doing everything possible to resolve your dispute quickly. When the situation allows, they favour settling files out of court, before a trial is held.
In 2026, the family lawyers on our team completed the PIFE Institute training program on the lawyer’s role in the Processus d’intervention familiale encadrée (PIFE, a supervised family intervention process). They were the first in Quebec to receive this specialized training.
PIFE is a systemic, interdisciplinary approach aimed at restoring a parent-child bond that has been damaged or broken during a high-conflict separation. It is based on a structured, child-centred protocol and applies where contact between a parent and a child has been cut off.
This training allows our lawyers to support their clients effectively throughout the intervention and to work with the other professionals involved. It is a major asset for finding lasting solutions, restoring family ties where possible and easing complex post-separation conflict dynamics.
