Overview
Tommy Tremblay’s practice encompasses every aspect of commercial litigation, with a focus on corporate governance (for example, in relation to risk management and director and officer liability), competition law, securities, and white-collar defence, including regulatory investigations and interactions with government agencies in these matters.
Tommy advises directors and officers regarding best governance practices, specifically with respect to their duties and liabilities towards various groups impacted by their decisions (e.g., shareholders, investors, customers, creditors, employees) and the obligations imposed on them by law.
Tommy assists clients at various stages, including identifying the risks their organization faces and managing those risks to prevent disputes. Clients also seek his services when complaints are made against them or when lawsuits are filed against their organization or its officers. Due to his extensive expertise in governance, Tommy regularly handles shareholder disputes, including oppression remedies, representing either the aggrieved shareholder, the corporation, the board of directors, or the controlling shareholder. These cases often revolve around loss of trust or disagreements over the decision-making process and corporate management.
Moreover, Tommy advises corporations and individuals on matters related to their obligations to prevent economic crimes and ensure compliance with competition law, securities law, or other statutory rules. He represents his clients before the courts in both penal and civil proceedings (including class actions) where they are accused of an offence or alleged to be liable for damages.
Tommy also helps develop compliance programs that make it possible for corporations to verify whether their members are acting in compliance with statutory rules and exercising due diligence in various areas, including competition law, fraud prevention, corruption and lobbying.
He frequently assists clients with investigations led by regulatory agencies and helps to set up internal investigation protocols for clients who may suspect employees or executives of having committed irregularities (non-compliance with regulatory standards, fraud, etc.). He is also called upon to act as legal advisor to various boards of directors and special committees in the context of internal or regulatory investigations and crisis management events.
Tommy also appears before various bodies, such as administrative tribunals, the Superior Court and the Court of Appeal of Québec.
