We are pleased to welcome Troy McEachren to the Firm as a Partner in Montréal, joining our Tier 1-ranked National Tax Group. Troy brings distinguished experience advising charities, foundations, and not-for-profit organizations. He will work closely with Robert Hayhoe and Nicole D'Aoust in our Charities and Non-Profits Group and will broaden the depth and scope of our robust Private Wealth, Estates and Trusts Group.
Widely regarded as a leading legal advisor in the charitable sector, Troy is nationally recognized for his expertise and is currently the highest-ranked Quebec lawyer in Chambers and Partners for charities and non-profits. He is also distinguished by Lexpert and Best Lawyers for his expertise in this area. He has extensive experience advising charities, foundations, and other tax-exempt organizations on governance, fiduciary obligations, and compliance with complex tax regulations, significantly enhancing our ability to serve philanthropic organizations in Quebec and across Canada.
In addition to his charities expertise, Troy maintains a broad trusts and estates practice, advising high-net-worth individuals, families, and trustees on succession planning, cross-border tax matters, and charitable giving. He further deepens our capabilities through his work on fiduciary obligations and estate litigation, strengthening our ability to serve private clients and family offices in Quebec while reinforcing our national private wealth platform.
