Bouchard+Avocats

What Bouchard+Avocats does

Bouchard+Avocats is a private Quebec-based law firm founded in 1987 that provides legal counsel and notary services to both businesses and individuals across the greater Quebec City region. The firm operates across six core legal practice areas — business/corporate law (Droit des affaires), labor and employment law (Droit du travail), real estate law (Droit immobilier), intellectual property law (Droit de la propriété), civil and commercial litigation (Litige), and family law (Droit familial) — and has recently expanded its offering to include notary services (Services de notariat) as well as class action representation (Actions collectives).

The firm is staffed by 20+ lawyers and notaries, supported by 11–50 total employees, and operates from four physical offices in Québec, Val-Bélair, St-Raymond, and Ste-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier. Service delivery is conducted through direct client engagement at these office locations supplemented by website contact forms. The firm also hosts the Consulat de Finlande at its premises, an unusual diplomatic arrangement.

The business model is that of a traditional professional services firm: revenue is generated through quote-based billing for legal and notarial engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing structure. The firm employs horizontal segmentation across business and individual client segments and distributes through a regional Quebec footprint, with marketing conducted primarily through LinkedIn, Facebook, a blog, and email newsletters. Ownership is private, with no parent company or institutional investors identified, and the firm name suggests continuity of the founding Bouchard family with Me Éric Bouchard and Me Laurence Bouchard currently practicing under the brand.
