Me Shayne Rodrigues
I’ve been interested in practicing law for as long as I can remember. I graduated from law school at the University of Sherbrooke in 2017 and became a member of the Quebec Bar Association in 2019.
For my first three years as a practicing attorney, I worked at a law firm specialised primarily in penal law. There, I developed my specialty as a trial attorney. My workload consisted almost exclusively of trials, undertaken at municipal courts and courthouses all over the province. In every file I worked, my method was to seek out a swift and satisfying resolution to the conflict for my client, preferably by means of agreeable negotiation, while remaining prepared to plead my case before whatever judge would hear it. In my opinion, the proper application of law requires equal parts pragmatism and conviction, and I approach every case and trial by carefully balancing those ideals.
Here at CHABOT médiateurs avocats, I bring this philosophy to new domains of law with greater stakes and personal importance, such as civil law and labour law. Together, we can right the wrongs that weigh on our clients, seek out new solutions through negotiation and litigation, and overcome the obstacles that are placed upon our paths.
Whether you need advise to guide you on your way or a firm voice to make yourselves heard, you can count on me and out team to represent your best interests.
