About Lavery

Lavery has nearly 500 members, including more than 200 legal services professionals, all guided by the same goal of driving the growth of companies doing business in Quebec.

We provide multidisciplinary legal services that are tailored to meet the needs and expectations of our clients. Thanks to our solid network in Quebec’s major business centres—Montréal, Québec City, Sherbrooke and Trois-Rivières—we have built a reputation as the province’s largest independent firm.

Lavery has helped shape the legal history of Quebec for over 100 years. We were the first firm to hire a woman lawyer in Quebec, and 56 of our lawyers and partners have become judges. Even today, several landmark decisions by our former members, including the current Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, have a profound influence on the country’s legal and socio-political landscape.

Our values

Excellence

We know that our actions define who we are. Our work is guided by the highest standards of excellence and integrity as we fuel the success of our members, clients, business partners and society as a whole.

Collaboration

We are supportive and generous with our expertise, and we recognize each individual’s talent and potential. We celebrate our wins and learn from adversity together.

Entrepreneurship

Our independence and accountability guide us and allow us to be ambitious as a group. We seize every opportunity for development and growth, in a way that benefits every one of our firm’s members and clients.

Boldness

We continuously evaluate best practices. We are not afraid to reinvent ourselves, and we don’t hesitate to take initiative, challenge the status quo and pitch new ideas.

 

These core values guide our actions every day, as we continue to play a leading role in the transformation of legal services in Quebec.
