65 years of passion

Our firm celebrates its 65th anniversary! The first corporate name in 1954 was Beaudoin, Riel, and became Dunton Rainville in 1988 after integrating several other firms.

It is truly remarkable to see how far we have come over the last 65 years. Today, we have nearly 250 individuals, including more than 100 lawyers, notaries and labour relations advisors, working in our Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, Joliette, Saint-Jérôme,  Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and Sherbrooke offices. 

Our professionals possess cutting-edge expertise and the firm acts in all areas requiring legal services. We serve a wide range of clients, including private and public companies, financial institutions, multinational corporations and SMEs, and represent several governmental and paragovernmental corporations. Dunton Rainville is also a member of the global network of leading law firms, SCG Legal.

We are extremely proud to have kept pace with the evolution of the business world and to have ensured the sustainability of our organization over the years, particularly in light of the highly competitive environment of the legal services industry.

Our clients are at the heart of everything we do 

True to the values of respect, integrity, loyalty, diversity and inclusion of our builders, and thanks to the loyalty of our clients, sustained business development and responsible management, we have managed to stay the course to ensure that our firm is well positioned.

For 65 years, in keeping with our tradition of quality, dedication and competence, every member of the firm has made our clients their top priority.

We pay particular attention to each of our clients, including individuals, companies and institutions, to ensure that we provide them with the most advantageous, creative and affordable legal solutions to suit their needs.

A passionate team

It is thanks to our team of highly qualified professionals who are driven by a desire to contribute to their clients’ success that we have been able to meet the many challenges we have faced over the past 65 years. 

The strength of our passion and the unwavering commitment of each member of the firm have always been the driving force behind this performance. That is why we chose 65 years of passion as the theme this year’s celebrations

This milestone anniversary provides us with an opportunity to express our gratitude to our team for their outstanding work. Every member of the firm forms an integral part of our history because they each invest considerable energy to contribute concretely to the firm’s growth and success on a daily basis.

Above all, it is an opportunity to thank our clients for their loyalty. Year after year, they entrust us with mandates and lead us to surpass ourselves to provide outstanding service.

We sincerely thank them for the trust they place in us to manage their legal matters. We like to think that we have become true strategic partners in helping them achieve their business goals.

The future

We will continue to do our utmost to innovate in our service delivery to support our clients judiciously in their own growth.

We have always relied on talented people and people with heart. Our predecessors were great jurists. Their strategic vision for the future has been critical to our success and they have ensured Dunton Rainville an enviable reputation in the legal community.

Our firm has been proud to count several prestigious lawyers among our members, many of whom have pursued their careers as judges in various jurisdictions, including the Supreme Court of Canada and as members of the Quebec National Assembly, the House of Commons and the Canadian Senate.

We intend to pursue our expansion by continuing to focus on our clients. Our objective is to maintain the firm’s position at the top of the list of Quebec firms while maintaining our commitment to our clients and to the communities in which we operate.

We are confident that with the support of our clients, every member of our team, our global SCG Legal network and its 120 affiliated firms with nearly 10,000 lawyers, we will succeed!
