Over the years, Léa has handled a wide range of civil litigation cases. Her clients include real estate developers, property managers, real estate investors and general contractors.
Her expertise in commercial leasing has led her to advise clients on the interpretation of their leases and the remedies available to them. She advises her clients on construction matters both after a project has been completed and during the course of a project, with a view to prevention and litigation.
