Lavery is pleased to announce a new partnership with Repreneuriat Québec. The partnership will leverage Lavery’s multidisciplinary expertise while expanding Repreneuriat Québec’s network of experts to provide enhanced, structured support for business buyers and sellers across Quebec.
A trusted legal partner to support business transfers across the province
Through this agreement, Repreneuriat Québec will build formal relationships with all members of the Lavery network in the province’s major business centres. This partnership directly supports Repreneuriat Québec’s mission to ensure the long-term viability of Quebec businesses. Lavery’s teams will bring top-tier integrated expertise in mergers and acquisitions, taxation, financing, labour and employment law, governance, intellectual property, and commercial and contract law. This will give buyers and sellers the tools they need to navigate each critical stage of the business transfer cycle, from preparation and diagnosis to structuring, due diligence, financing, post-transaction integration and business continuity.
Lavery will also activate its AI lab—L3AI—to support business transfers involving innovative technology companies.
Joint training and awareness initiatives
Repreneuriat Québec and Lavery will organize outreach activities, offer legal advice clinics and provide educational content to ensure Lavery’s clients and the business ecosystem are familiar with best practices in the areas of succession planning, tax structuring, HR issue management during business transfers, and IP protection.
“This partnership will help us better equip local entrepreneurs by giving them access to recognized legal expertise,” said Alexandre Ollive, President and CEO of Repreneuriat Québec. “Together, we want to help buyers and sellers recognize the importance of carefully planning each step of the business transfer process to ensure the continued viability of businesses across all regions of Quebec.”
“By joining forces with Repreneuriat Québec, we reaffirm Lavery’s commitment to supporting the growth and prosperity of local businesses and to contributing to Quebec’s economic momentum,” said Anik Trudel, Lavery’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our role as a legal and business partner will be to effectively guide buyers and sellers from strategy to execution. The goal is to help them secure the future of their businesses and to create a business environment that fosters long-term growth.”
