Profile
Senior Associate
Maxime is a member of the Business Law group and focuses his practice on commercial law, technology law and real estate.
As part of his practice, Maxime negotiates, drafts and revises various legal documents relating to commercial transactions. He is also called upon to support and advise clients on their business and operational activities. In addition, Maxime regularly takes on the role of strategic advisor by collaborating on the development and implementation of legal and business strategies to achieve development and growth objectives for his clients.
After he began his career at a major law firm in the Québec City area, Maxime practised law in Alberta between 2010 and 2016. He later worked as legal counsel for a real estate investment trust and a major financial institution. Before joining Lavery, he was director of legal affairs at INO, an industry leader in optics and photonics in Quebec and Canada.
Finally, practising within a business enabled Maxime to develop his skills as a business partner for his clients, which he uses to analyze and understand the issues and risks involved in concluding commercial agreements and his clients’ specific legal situations. He is thus well equipped to give tailored advice for each individual situation.
