Practice areas
Whether representing the plaintiff or the defendant, all our energy is focused on one goal: winning the case!
Civil and commercial litigation
At Belleau Lapointe we've decided to devote ourselves to all forms of civil and commercial litigation. Thus, whether the case involves arbitration or civil litigation, an injunction, seizure before judgment or extraordinary recourse, our trial lawyers are always on top of the standards of excellence.
Whether representing the plaintiff or the defendant, all our energy is focused on one goal: winning the case! We realize full well that cases aren't always won in court and Belleau Lapointe firmly believes in alternative means of resolving conflicts. Moreover, our professionals are experienced negotiators who know that a well crafted settlement can often be more advantageous than the uncertainties of court.
This pursuit of victory and steadfast concern for excellence are also reflected in the extra services we offer. Belleau Lapointe can also advise its clients on mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations and drafting and negotiating business contracts.

Shareholders conflicts
Conflicts within a company are often emotion-laden and not only upset normal business, but also involve officers and the board of directors. A breach of trust between investors and visionaries, founders and their successors, or even members of the same family can have serious consequences for all sides involved.
The very nature of shareholders conflicts call for developing a custom strategy for each case. In fact, every organization has its own culture, habits, and history, and when the time comes to retain the services of a lawyer for shareholders litigation, the best ingredient is experience.
We have an impressive track record in shareholders litigation. We have successfully represented shareholders, investors, directors, as well as federally and provincially incorporated entities. Moreover, our colleagues often mention us when they have to refer a client with a case involving shareholders litigation.

Class actions
Whether you're the victim of a manufacturer whose product fails to live up to its claims, a corporation whose pollution violates environmental standards, an illegal strike, or a publicly traded company that privileges a small group of insiders at the expense of other shareholders, we will be there with you at every stage of the class action you undertake and give you the benefits of the outstanding expertise of our team of professionals.
With the strength of our team of experienced lawyers who have worked on numerous class actions, represented hundreds of thousands of Quebecers and obtained millions of dollars in compensation for them, we know better than anyone that winning demands teamwork - with you!
