They get a lot of Anglophile work in Montréal. We see
Jason Novak and Barry Landy a good deal.” Novak, a “versatile and personable” commercial litigator, is lauded by a client as someone who “provides excellent service, goes beyond and moves fast.”
Charlotte Oger-Chambonnet brings a high-stakes family law element, a burgeoning practice that has gained increasing traction among clients. One client offers effusive praise on her behalf: “Charlotte represented me in my divorce. I received excellent services and advice to my difficult times. She is now helping me with a custody dispute. She is very available despite my demanding work hours. She has made herself available several times for several hours on Saturday nights. For urgent matters, she was able to go to court quickly and get a court ruling to help protect me. She counseled me very well – I just wish I had listened to her more closely and followed her instructions! Charlotte is very efficient and organized and is an excellent writer in both French and English. She works well as a leader and team player, she is calm but aggressive when she needs to be.”
