BIOGRAPHY

Associate
Upon being admitted to the Quebec Bar, Véronique Morin joined the firm in Quebec City. She began practising commercial law and civil law, particularly in the field of litigation, while acquiring valuable experience in the areas of labour law and judicial review before the courts of law.

 

Since 1996, Ms. Morin has been practising at the firm’s Montreal office in the fields of labour, health and administrative law. Throughout the last few years, she has represented public, parapublic and private entities before administrative tribunals and the courts, notably in matters pertaining to the dismissal of executives and human rights.

 

She has also developed an interest in issues relating to psychological harassment and the managerial rights of employers. In addition, Ms. Morin regularly speaks at conferences and writes articles on human resources management and labour law matters.
