Sébastien's primary office is at 1 Place Ville-Marie, 37th Floor, Montreal, QC, H3B 3P4. In-person meetings are by appointment; a phone intake usually comes first.

Working with a new business attorney should feel structured. Here's how the first two conversations with Sébastien usually go, from the moment you request a consult to the day representation begins.

Sébastien discusses fees during intake so the arrangement fits the matter. Contingency, hourly, and flat-fee options are all common in business practice — ask which fits.

• How much does it cost to hire Sébastien for a business case?

  Cost depends on the type of matter, the fee model (contingency, flat, hourly), and how contested the case becomes. Sébastien walks through the likely range during the consult so there are no surprises.

• Does Sébastien offer a free consultation?

  Sébastien charges for the initial consult; that fee is credited toward representation if you retain Sébastien's office. Some business attorneys offer free consults — check Sébastien's current terms during booking.

• How long do business cases in this state typically take?

  Simple business matters can wrap in a few weeks; disputed cases can run 6–18 months from intake to resolution, longer if the matter goes to trial. Sébastien gives a realistic estimate for your facts at the consult — vague answers here are a red flag.

• Can Sébastien take my case if I'm outside the area?

  Sébastien evaluates matters case by case. If the venue is outside Sébastien's regular jurisdictions, the intake call will confirm whether direct representation or a referral makes more sense.

• What should I bring to my first meeting with Sébastien?

  Bring every document that touches the dispute: contracts, correspondence, police or medical reports, filed pleadings, invoices, photographs, insurance letters. Also bring a written timeline of what happened, in your own words. Sébastien will filter what matters — over-preparing at intake is always cheaper than needing a second meeting.

• Is Sébastien accepting new business clients right now?

  Sébastien's intake status shifts week to week. Submit the form; the office will confirm availability or refer the matter out.
