In the community
Child wellness is of paramount importance to us, and we are dedicated to supporting it. To promote their healthy development, we have chosen to partner with the Marie-Vincent Foundation and the Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec.
Marie-Vincent Foundation
Its mission: to support children and adolescents who are victims of sexual violence by providing the services they need, all under one roof. They help prevent violence through education and awareness, and by treating children with sexual behaviour problems. It does this by raising money to fund services for victims and by supporting for their loved ones, as well as through research, training, and prevention efforts. We've been steadfastly supporting this foundation since 2013, and our partner Danielle Ferron has been a member of its Board of Directors since 2014.

Centre de pédiatrie sociale de Québec (CPSQ)
Since 2019, we've been wholeheartedly supporting the CPSQ, whose mission is to provide children and their families in precarious situations with vital care to ensure their well-being and optimal development, while safeguarding their rights and interests. Thanks to a multidisciplinary team of doctors, social workers, therapists and nurses, the CPSQ responds to the needs of vulnerable children aged 0-14 and their families. It supports children and parents who are for the most part unaffiliated with the public health system. The dedicated staff also provides parents with resources and tools to ensure the well-being of their children, as well as support, empathy, and an attentive and caring ear. The Centre is a place of welcome and care for children who otherwise would not have access to health services.

In the legal community
Access to justice is a fundamental right. Yet many people cannot afford it. As a law firm driven by our values and principles, we are passionately committed to ensuring this cornerstone of a just society.
Juripop
Since 2009, Juripop’s mission has been to ensure access to justice in order to guarantee the respect, autonomy and dignity of individuals and to contribute to the achievement of a just, egalitarian and inclusive society. To this end, Juripop is committed to offering creative, accessible and inclusive local legal services that meet the concrete needs of all people, across Québec. It offers access to legal services at a very low cost to people who are excluded from government legal aid, but who are still financially unable to pay for the defence of their rights. It also takes on cases of public interest to give a voice to those whose rights are too often denied. We’ve been championing Juripop’s mission since 2018, while our partner Félix Bernard has been directly involved as a Board member since 2022.
