Profile
Philippe is a partner in the Business Law, Mergers & Acquisitions team of our Montréal office. He focuses his practice on business law, mainly acting on behalf of private companies and other investors in domestic and cross-border transactions, including mergers and acquisitions and financing transactions, in various industries.
Overall, Philippe assists the firm's clients through every stage of their development, from incorporation to the negotiation and implementation of commercial contracts, shareholders' agreements and share/asset purchase/sale transactions. Thanks to his ability to popularize complex issues and understand entrepreneurs' day-to-day realities, his approach is pragmatic, efficient and results-oriented. These skills serve him well both as a lawyer and as a business advisor.
Philippe studied at McGill University's Faculty of Law, and holds a joint degree in civil and common law. His training also included a semester at the National University of Singapore. As such, he was exposed to the legal issues of several jurisdictions throughout his training.
Before joining BCF, Philippe spent the first few years of his career working for a boutique litigation firm in Montréal, giving him a global understanding of the legal issues that may affect his clients. As a result, he is able to tighten up contractual provisions before they become contentious.
