Me Olivier St-André
Avocat

Olivier s'est joint au cabinet en 2017, où il pratique le litige civil en droit de la construction et de l’immobilier. Il représente des entrepreneurs généraux et spécialisés, ainsi que des promoteurs immobiliers et des cabinets professionnels qui œuvrent en conception de projet.

 En 2022, il a accepté un rôle conseil à la direction des affaires juridiques de deux sociétés privées de développement et de gestion immobilière, avant de réintégrer le cabinet en 2026. Cette expérience en contentieux lui a permis de développer une fine compréhension des besoins et défis de la clientèle d’affaires.

 Au fil de sa carrière, Olivier a plaidé des dossiers complexes et variés devant les tribunaux de droit commun, ainsi que les tribunaux administratifs et d'arbitrage. Reconnu pour son sens stratégique et sa proactivité, il excelle à dégager des solutions pratiques qui tiennent compte non seulement du droit, mais des enjeux financiers, temporels et humains qui sont propres à chaque client. Olivier possède également une expertise reconnue en matière de rédaction, d'interprétation et de gestion des baux commerciaux.

 Enfin, il est formateur accrédité par l’ACQ depuis 2019, dispensant des cours d’administration et de gestion de projets et de chantiers pour les entrepreneurs, ainsi que diverses formations reliées au domaine de la construction. En 2024, il a été invité par la RBQ à agir comme expert à la révision des examens d'obtention de licence portant sur l'encadrement législatif, normatif et réglementaire de l'industrie.
