He defends shareholders’ interests in oppression cases and pleads in insolvency and restructuring cases relating to the rights and recourses of trustees and creditors.

He often appears before Canada’s courts and tribunals, and has been involved in cases that shaped Québec law, including Peoples Department Stores Inc., a landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision on the scope of the duties and obligations incumbent on a corporation’s officers and directors.
