Dentons is pleased to welcome Marie-Andrée Thibault as a partner and lead of the Real Estate group in Montréal. With over 15 years of extensive experience, Marie-Andrée is a trusted advisor to clients in the real estate sector, representing them in every aspect of their transactions. She has a full-service practice which covers real estate developments, acquisitions and sales and financings, with specific expertise in energy, mining and infrastructure projects. Marie arrives from Fasken.
“I am delighted to join Dentons and excited at the opportunity to leverage my connections in the Québec real estate community to strengthen the Firm’s already-impressive reach, reputation and client offering, both locally and nationally,” said Marie-Andrée Thibault.
Marie-Andrée’s addition to the Firm, building on the recent arrival of Nathalie Duceppe as a notary counsel, represents an important strategic step towards the expansion of the Montréal Real Estate group to continue providing clients with exceptional legal and business advice.
Christian Létourneau, Managing Partner of Dentons’ Montréal office, expressed his enthusiasm for Marie-Andrée’s arrival, stating: “We are thrilled to welcome Marie-Andrée to the team. She is highly regarded for her impressive track record of delivering exceptional value to her clients. Her addition to the Firm will undoubtedly bolster the bench strength of our Montréal team and position us to excel in meeting the dynamic demands of clients in the Québec and national real estate markets.”
In Ontario, the Firm also bolstered its overarching real estate practice with recent additions to the Municipal, Land Use Planning and Development Law group with counsel Isaiah Banach, and associates Kevin Pirak and Jessica Jakubowski. Leader of this established group and national co-lead of the Real Estate group, Katarzyna Sliwa, shared her excitement, remarking: “The arrival of these exceptional lawyers adds a new dimension to our group’s existing capabilities, supporting the future success of our clients’ businesses.”
“This is an exciting period of growth for our group,” said Clark Kassian, national leader of the Real Estate group. “As our clients’ needs evolve, we continue to expand our team to deliver the highest level of legal and business services. We are delighted to welcome our new team members whose expertise will further solidify our position as a leading provider of real estate legal services in Canada.”
