Profile

Olivier Fecteau is a lawyer in the Litigation group and practises primarily in health law. He advises various entities in the health and social services network on legal issues related to their operations, with a particular focus on hospital liability.

He began his career in the legal department of one of the network’s institutions before joining the firm. Through that experience and his time as a law student at a professional order of the healthcare sector, he gained a deep understanding of the field’s intricacies.
