OTTAWA-GATINEAU, February 19, 2024 — DS Décarie Lawyers, a firm with a strong reputation in the Gatineau area, is completing the transition it began a year ago when it became part of DS Lawyers and will now be operating under the global banner.
The firm will continue to provide the same personalized, people-centred, local services to its clients in the area, while adding the strength of a national and international team with further expertise.
This final phase of the transition coincides with the group’s move to DS Lawyers’ offices in Ottawa and the addition of a multipurpose space in Gatineau. These two new workspaces are designed to foster engagement and congeniality and will also offer a place to meet with clients on both sides of the Ottawa River.
“The DS Décarie Lawyers and DS Lawyers teams will now be working together, and we could not be more pleased. With the extensive experience that our new colleagues will be bringing in through this merger, the client experience will be further enhanced. What’s more, there will be even more diversity and depth in the services we offer on both sides of the Ottawa River,” said Sophie-Anne Décarie, managing partner of the Gatineau team.
“We’re delighted to welcome our new colleagues from Gatineau,” added Ryan Flewelling, managing partner of the Ottawa team. “The cohesiveness that will be built through combining our two teams will be highly beneficial for our own people as well as our clients.”
“The Ottawa offices and the multipurpose room in Gatineau demonstrate our commitment to offering high-quality service to our clients in a way that is in line with the changing business world and the personal growth of our people. We strongly believe this new work structure will enhance our ability to attract talent and bring added value for both our own resources and our clients,” concluded Angie Tinor, National Vice-President Operating Officer at DS Lawyers.
The new offices of DS Lawyers Ottawa-Gatineau (formerly DS Décarie Lawyers) are located at 123 Slater Street, Suite 901, and offer a spectacular panoramic view of downtown Ottawa. The multipurpose room is located at 1885 Boulevard Saint-Louis, Suite 202, and includes a large modern conference room for meeting with clients on the Quebec side.
