Representation of other firms and Applications to disqualify
Our reputation as competent, rigorous and professional lawyers is well established in the Quebec legal community. When the ability of other lawyers to act for their clients is challenged, or where the involvement of external counsel is required, we are often called on by other law firms to assist or represent them.
We often act in the context of applications to disqualify brought against other firms. Our lawyers have represented several of the largest Canadian and Quebec-based law firms in the context of applications alleging the presence of conflicts of interest or seeking to disqualify them from acting for their clients.
Finally, we have also been retained to assist provide ethics advice and counseling to practicing lawyers and law firms, from the largest national firms to sole practitioners, when they are confronted with professional responsibility dilemmas and other situations requiring guidance.
