Hugo’s reputation is that of a talented trial lawyer and strategist with a sharp legal mind. He always delivers and often exceeds expectations. He never backs down from a challenge, whether it implies taking the lead in a highly mediatized case, or cross-examining high-profile defendants. Clients know this and feel confident in Hugo’s ability to vigorously defend their interests.

General commercial litigation: Hugo has handled a variety of general commercial matters on behalf of various clients of the firm. He focused on his courtroom skills very early on in his career. He is credited with over 70 published judgments (with many more unpublished), and has personally conducted and led numerous trials, including one of the largest divorce trials in the province over the last decades, if not the largest. While Hugo’s reputation is that of a trial lawyer who can adapt and argue a wide range of files, he has gained particular experience in defamation and media Law, reputation and crisis management, contractual disputes, unfair competition, and shareholders’ litigation.
