Lucas L. Fortier

Skilled and strategic advocate for a complex business dispute

I engaged Lucas Fortier at Bernstein Shur to handle a significant breach of contract and partnership dispute for my small manufacturing company. From our initial consultation in his Portland office, it was clear he possessed a deep understanding of the nuanced legal and commercial issues at play. His background in commercial litigation, and the recognition he's received in that field, was evident in his strategic approach. He didn't just react; he built a comprehensive case that anticipated the other side's arguments. His education and experience, including his appellate practice recognition, meant he was always thinking several steps ahead, which was crucial during settlement negotiations. Lucas is exceptionally sharp, personable, and genuinely invested in achieving the best outcome for his clients. Our matter was resolved favorably, largely due to his diligent work. If I had one note, it would be that during the busiest phases, communication could sometimes take a day to receive a response, though his updates were always thorough when they came. I would confidently recommend Lucas to any business facing complex legal challenges.
