Marc-André Groulx

Expert guidance through a complex non-compete dispute

When my former employer in Montréal threatened legal action over a non-compete clause after I accepted a new position, I was overwhelmed. I needed counsel who understood the nuanced landscape of Québec labour law, not just generic U.S. advice. Finding Marc-André Groulx was a turning point. His deep, specific expertise in Labour and Employment Law was immediately apparent. He meticulously reviewed my original contract and the circumstances of my departure, explaining the often-overlooked provincial standards for reasonableness and geographic scope. Marc-André’s strategy was both pragmatic and assertive. He crafted a compelling response that highlighted the clause's overreach, leading to a swift and favorable settlement without protracted litigation. His recognition by Best Lawyers was not just a credential; it was evident in his confident, precise navigation of the issue. Beyond his technical skill, his calm demeanor and clear communication from his BCF office made an incredibly stressful process manageable. I cannot recommend his services highly enough for anyone facing employment-related legal challenges in the Québec market.
