The Hon. Sylvain Dorais (Quebec Bar 1997) is an experienced litigator and counsel in the areas of labour and employment law, civil litigation and corporate litigation. He began his career as a law clerk at the Quebec Court of Appeal, then as a lawyer in a large firm in downtown Montreal before founding his own firm in 2002.
Me Dorais has more than 20 years of experience before judicial and administrative tribunals. He also works as a strategic advisor to implement creative solutions and prevent litigation. Since 2017, he has also served as a municipal judge in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Saint-Constant and Mercier. He is a member of the Quebec Bar's liaison committee with the Administrative Labour Tribunal.
Me Dorais gained notoriety when he won the case of Montréal (Ville de) v. Octane Stratégie Inc, 2019 SCC 57, a judgment that changed municipal law in Canada. As a litigator, he had the Supreme Court of Canada recognize the application in municipal law of civil law concepts such as the receipt of undue payments and restitution of benefits. In concrete terms, the decision of the highest court in the country forced the City to compensate his client for the equivalent of the service provided, in the absence of a valid municipal contract.
Finally, it should be noted that this experienced lawyer is certainly no slouch. From 2010 to 2016, he piloted a Hydro350 class boat, which can race at speeds of over 190 km/h, at regatta venues across North America. During his career, he has won several races. His tenacity and racing prowess have earned him the nickname "The Kamikaze Lawyer".
Sylvain Dorais has been working with our organization since the very beginning.
