Civil Litigation Lawyers in Quebec

Civil disputes in Quebec are governed by the Code civil du Quebec and run through the Code of Civil Procedure, which differs enough from common-law procedure that experience specifically in Quebec courts matters. Common matters include contract disputes, hidden defect (vice cache) claims after a property purchase, construction and renovation disputes, shareholder and partnership breakdowns, and professional liability claims.

Two practical points. Quebec's Small Claims Division handles claims up to 15,000 dollars and lawyers cannot represent parties there, so for smaller disputes the question is whether you need advice rather than representation. And Quebec's Code of Civil Procedure actively pushes parties toward private dispute resolution before litigating, so expect a serious lawyer to raise mediation early. The firms below handle civil and commercial litigation across Quebec.
