Martine Perrault
Martine Perrault obtained her Civil Law degree (B.C.L.) and Common Law degree (LL.B.) from McGill University and has been a member of the Bar of Quebec since 1990. Martine quickly established her own firm and has practiced in the areas of real estate, commercial and corporate law.
Real estate transactions and commercial leases represent the centerpiece of Martine’s practice. She deals regularly with a variety of parties including pension funds, management firms and real estate holdings. Martine is also one of Quebec’s leading authorities in the area of real estate brokerage law and has written extensively, given conferences and taught in this area for more than twenty years.
Business start-ups also represent an area where Martine has practiced since her admission to the Bar. She services small and medium sized businesses and has developed and acquired wide-ranging expertise with respect to the physical implementation and judicial organization of healthcare professionals’ practices.
Martine is particularly adept at explaining complex situations to her clients which allows them to become completely implicated in the decision-making process. She is creative when it comes time to propose a solution or to draft a contract or any other legal document. These qualities explain why she represents many “repeat clients” who have been working with her over the course of many years.
