Mr. Therrien practises primarily in the area of commercial litigation. His practice focuses in the fields of civil and commercial liability and contractual litigation arising out of business operations and contractual arrangements. He also sits on Montréal’s Student and Articling Committee.

He has been involved in complex litigation matters, including class actions (e.g.: investors claiming against various parties for disallowed tax shelters, consumers claiming against the pharmaceutical industry for alleged illegal gifts to pharmacists).

He also advises commercial clients on legal and regulatory compliance issues with a focus on environmental and consumer protection legislations. As such, he is involved in litigation cases but is also called upon to provide legal advices in view of managing and mitigating litigation risks. For example, he has acted for many years for a multinational retail client in commercial litigation matters as well as providing legal advises (“in-house” type of work).

His clients appreciate his skills as a trial lawyer (cross-examination, discovery, document management, expert reports) but also his negotiating skills when clients choose to resolve a litigation outside of courts.
