Jonathan Coulombe practises environmental, municipal and expropriation law, and provides both legal counsel and litigation support. Among others, he works in cases where jurisdictions between levels of government are in conflict, those involving wetlands and bodies of water or contaminated soils, and those where companies' environmental issues are confronted with land management by municipalities, including the analysis of municipal planning regulations, vested rights and expropriation.

Prior to joining BCF, Jonathan worked for five years in a Montréal boutique law firm in the areas of environmental, municipal, expropriation and energy law, where he assisted clients in obtaining the permits and authorizations required for their activities, advised them on achieving and maintaining environmental and municipal compliance and represented them in litigation before the courts and administrative tribunals.

Since being sworn in as a lawyer, Jonathan also regularly contributes to the presentation or publication of conferences and articles with his colleagues. He has written articles for Les Développements récents en droit de l'environnement and is coauthor of two chapters of Jurisclasseur Québec - Droit de l'environnement. Holding a Civil Law and Common Law degree from McGill University as well as a Bachelor of Arts in International Development Studies, Jonathan is particularly interested in projects, issues and events having regional or global impacts. As such, Jonathan participated in the creation of a McGill international law journal and completed a human rights internship in Cambodia in addition to having obtained an attestation of collegial studies in intercultural relations while pursuing his law degree. Jonathan also participated in a one-term academic exchange at the University of Melbourne.
