Overview

Louis A. Toupin has been a member of Dunton Rainville since 1983 and was called to the Québec Bar after completing his studies at the University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law, where he earned his law degree (L.L.L.).

Me Toupin’s practice focuses on road transport before various transportation boards. In that capacity, he represented his clients in Montréal, Halifax, Nova Scotia, St-John, New Brunswick, and Toronto, in obtaining or retaining interprovincial transport licenses.

Still in the transportation sector, Mr. Toupin, backed by his experience in the field, is called upon to act in maritime law matters related to the piloting of boats. He frequently pleads before the Federal Court in matters related to maritime liability or the seizure of boats for unpaid pilotage fees.

Furthermore, Mr. Toupin was heavily involved in civil litigation, namely in civil responsibility matters and matters related to endowments, estates and wills. In these matters, he pleads before all judicial bodies, including twice before the Supreme Court, claiming damages resulting from an incident involving the national railway company.

Also in matters related to endowments, estates and wills, Me Toupin has been consulted and/or involved in procedures involving the invalidity of a will and in estate planning on many occasions.
