“Langlois Lawyers is proud of this recognition of our chief executive officer for his contribution to the advancement of women and his commitment to equal opportunity. Our firm is a leader in this regard: parity has been achieved on our board of directors, executive committee and all other strategic committees”, indicated Danielle Ferron, chair of the firm’s board of directors. “Equality has always been one of Jean-François’ core values, well before he became involved with the AFFQ. This is a richly deserved honour that reflects well on our entire firm!”

This distinction is one of several Jean-François has received over the last year, which is a testament not only to his excellent management of the firm, but to client service that consistently exceeds expectations.
