Gowling WLG is proud to share that Luc Deshaies, Ad. E., Managing Partner of the firm's Montréal office, has received the Pierre-Fournier Award from the Montréal Bar Association.
Presented annually, the award recognizes individuals whose outstanding contributions have helped shape the Montréal Bar and strengthen its influence across Québec and Canada. Luc's decades-long involvement with the association, including his tenure as President, reflects that unwavering spirit of service and leadership.
An accomplished employment and labour lawyer with more than 40 years in practice, Luc has made a lasting contribution to the legal profession. His current role on the Québec Bar's France–Québec Committee, along with previous roles on its Finance and General committees, reflects a long-standing commitment to strengthening the profession and supporting lawyers at every stage of their careers.
That impact extends internationally. Through leadership roles with organizations such as the International Association of Lawyers and the International Senate of Bars and Law Societies, Luc has helped connect Montréal's legal community with peers around the world.
As Office Managing Partner, Luc brings that same focus and dedication to Gowling WLG's Montréal office, helping shape a collaborative, high-performance team known for strong relationships, practical advice, and deep connection to the clients and communities it serves.
