Azran Avocats reminds us that professional discipline is not a tool of procedural pressure

3 February 2026 BlackcatSEO

A recent decision of the Disciplinary Council of the Barreau du Québec (Goldstein v. Gemayel, file no. 06-24-03490) clearly and firmly confirms that private disciplinary complaints must never become a tactical tool or a lever of pressure in civil litigation. In this particularly tense family case (divorce, child custody, inheritance), the plaintiff had filed a private complaint against the lawyer who represented his ex-spouse and then his estate. In particular, he accused him of having multiplied the procedures, of lacking moderation, of acting outside the warrant or of tolerating the presentation of information that he considered inaccurate before the Superior…

6 November 2025 BlackcatSEO

Montreal is full of stories of promising companies that have gone off the rails not because of the market, but because of internal conflicts. Two partners are launching a tech start-up in the Mile-End. Three years later, one wants to sell, the other refuses. The result: total paralysis, financial losses, and sometimes permanent closure. And yet, a simple document could have changed everything: the shareholders' agreement, which a commercial lawyer can help you establish. Often relegated to the background when incorporating a business in Montreal, this private agreement is actually one of the most powerful tools to secure the future…

Renting in terms of divided co-ownership

10 September 2025 Azran Avocats

With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and the rise in popularity of telecommuting in most professional settings, many city dwellers saw it as an opportunity to migrate to the remote suburbs of Montreal.
