Alexandre Brosseau-Wery
Partner
Alexandre is a partner of the firm and has been a litigator for close to a quarter of a century.
Best Lawyers® has recognized Alexandre as being among the Best lawyers in Canada, as selected by his peers for his work in Personal Injury and Legal Malpractice.
Alexandre’s core practice is centered on medical malpractice and bodily and personal injury, and focuses on maximizing damage awards related to catastrophic physical injuries, which include loss of income due to disability, cost of future care and moral damages.
In 2024, Alexandre successfully argued the largest medical malpractice case in Canada, obtaining an award of over 28 million dollars in capital and interest for his clients.
Over the past several years, Alexandre has successfully handled numerous cases on behalf of victims of malpractice or bodily or personal injury, before all levels of the courts of Québec, in matters involving numerous medical specialties, such as obstetrics, anesthesia, surgery, endocrinology, radiology, oncology, orthopedics, neurology, otorhinolaryngology and interventional radiology. In such cases, Alexandre has recovered for his clients by way of settlement or judgment compensations totalling tens of millions of dollars.
He takes particular pride in his personal approach to each mandate, striving to ensure his clients understand and are comfortable with every step of the litigation process. Alexandre often accepts to work on a contingency fee basis, such that no legal fees are paid by the client unless they receive compensation.
Alexandre also handles subrogated damage claims on behalf of insurers in matters involving complex technical and scientific issues of liability and causation, as well as various insurance and civil litigation matters.
Finally, Alexandre takes on high profile class actions, with a strong focus on constitutional rights and indigenous matters.
Alexandre has co-authored and regularly updates the Assessment of personal injuries section of the Québec Juris-Classeur, a legal encyclopaedia published by LexisNexis. He sat on the Liaison Committee with the Superior Court of the Bar of Montreal from 2018 to 2021.
