Dubé Latreille Avocats Inc.

What Dubé Latreille Avocats Inc. does

Dubé Latreille Avocats Inc. is a privately held Montreal-based law firm founded in 2003, operating from a single headquarters at 615 René-Lévesque Boulevard West. The firm is co-led by founding partners Serge Dubé (Senior Counsel) and Catherine Dubé (founding partner in civil litigation and real estate law), alongside Marc Latreille (founding partner in business and commercial law) and Jean-François Latreille (Senior Partner leading the technology, privacy, and risk management practice). With approximately 12 specialized lawyers supported by 3 administrative staff, the firm operates across eight practice areas organized into four litigation disciplines (civil, real estate, commercial, and medical/hospital liability) and four advisory disciplines (business law, cybersecurity and privacy, FINTRAC compliance, and Law 25 compliance).

The firm's core offering is professional legal services delivered through matter-based billing under standard Quebec law firm conventions. It serves two primary segments: organizations (SMEs, large enterprises, non-profits, and FINTRAC reporting entities such as real estate agencies) requiring civil, commercial, and corporate counsel as well as regulatory compliance support, and individuals requiring representation in civil liability, contractual, and personal injury matters. There is no proprietary technology platform; client-facing operations are supported by a Calendly-integrated online appointment booking system, a general newsletter subscription, and a quarterly specialized FINTRAC newsletter (Altimax).

Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: clients are acquired through online appointment booking by practice area and lawyer, supplemented by phone, email, and in-person consultations. The firm invests in brand and demand generation through legal chronicles (blog content), event sponsorships (notably Stratégies PME 2024 as Platinum sponsor with two Law 25 conferences), LinkedIn presence, pro bono activities with Juripop, the Young Bar of Montréal, and Salon Visez Droit, and community engagement with the Association Pulmonaire du Québec. Strategic partnerships include the Cercle Numérique consortium (formed August 2022 with five complementary firms covering IT, cybersecurity, public affairs, fraud detection, and AI data mapping) and a November 2024 co-development with Commissionnaires du Québec to launch Cyberlegal25, an integrated Law 25 compliance service combining legal counsel with cybersecurity support. Revenue is professional-services based and not publicly disclosed.
