Trivium Avocats

What Trivium Avocats does

Trivium Avocats-Notaires-Conseils is a Quebec-based multidisciplinary law firm headquartered in Brossard, founded in 2018. The firm employs approximately 130 staff across seven to eight offices (Brossard, Laval x2, Rosemère, Saguenay, Saint-Jérôme, Mascouche, Napierville, Vaudreuil-Dorion), of which roughly 70 are legal professionals (lawyers and notaries). Trivium operates under the 'Trivium par Nordence' brand as the legal arm of the Nordence integrated professional services network, with the stated objective of assembling cross-disciplinary teams (lawyers, notaries, accountants, advisors) around each client mandate.

The firm delivers legal and notarial services across 14 practice areas, including civil and commercial litigation, corporate and commercial law, construction and real estate, family and youth law, criminal and penal law, immigration, trademarks, personal and succession law, public/administrative/municipal law, labour and employment, insurance and financial products, and agricultural law and land use planning. Its class action practice has handled high-profile mandates including the taxi permit action (Metellus c. Procureur général du Québec, which produced a historic C$219M judgment later overturned on appeal in March 2026), the Uber Technologies action, and the Fédération des inventeurs du Québec fraud class action. Service lines are organized by practice area and delivered through regional offices that function as direct client engagement points, with cross-referrals between lawyers and notaries.

Revenue is generated primarily through billable hours and professional fees charged on a matter-by-matter basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed and follows Quebec Law Society fee guidelines based on complexity, practice area, and attorney experience. Trivium has pursued a roll-up growth strategy, acquiring Brunet et Paquin (2022), certain assets of Me Alain Fortin's notary practice (2024), and Laferrière-Gravel (January 2025), while expanding organically from 10 to ~130 employees in roughly six years. The firm is privately held, with no disclosed external equity funding; ownership and operating control rest with founding partners led by President and CEO Me Marc-Antoine Cloutier.
