DR Conseils

What DR Conseils does

DR Conseils is a Quebec-based occupational health and safety (OHS) management services firm that operates as a specialized division of the Dunton Rainville law firm, founded in 2014. The company helps employers reduce their CNESST (Quebec workers' compensation board) contribution costs and manage workplace injury liability through a bundled offering of six service modules: prevention and training, occupational injury claims management, total or partial OHS outsourcing, legal representation before CNESST, CLP, and courts, compliance audits, and prevention mutuals. Its primary customers are SMEs and large employers across all Quebec industries, with a secondary segment in public and parapublic organizations; prevention mutual membership is specifically targeted at SMEs seeking CNESST rate reductions tied to collective group performance.

The firm's core technology is the Gestolex secure web client portal (launched with the new website in November 2024), which enables real-time document access and upload, complemented by Microsoft Teams for webinars and virtual events. There is no proprietary AI/ML technology, no API platform, and no mobile application; the offering is fundamentally a human-expert professional services business with light digital tooling layered on top. DR Conseils holds accredited training organization status under Quebec's Act to Promote Workforce Skills Development and Recognition, making its courses eligible under employers' mandatory 1% payroll training investment.

DR Conseils monetizes through four streams: (1) ongoing OHS consulting engagements billed as professional services, (2) annual management fees for prevention mutuals, (3) recurring training revenue under the 1% payroll training regime, and (4) legal representation services delivered by Dunton Rainville lawyers under the DR Conseils banner. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, executed through a field sales team of account directors and business development managers (e.g., Jean-François Brochu, Loïc Abessolo) who offer free CNESST file analysis as a lead-generation entry point, supported by content marketing, webinars, and event sponsorships. The firm operates from 7 offices across Quebec (Montréal HQ plus Laval, Joliette, Saint-Hubert, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Saint-Jérôme, and Sherbrooke) and is privately held with no disclosed external funding.
