Gilles Gagnon, B.A., LL.L.

Lawyer

After a nearly 20-year career as a lawyer in the Drummondville area and a distinguished tenure of over 26 years at the Quebec Court, Mr. Gilles Gagnon is officially re-registered with the Quebec Bar and is joining the Bernier Fournier team.

After practicing with Mr. Roger Blais for several years, Mr. Gagnon decided, in 1976, to establish his own practice and practice general law until his appointment as a judge at the Quebec Court in 1989.

With an impressive legal background, including his role as President of the Arthabaska district, Mr. Gilles Gagnon is also distinguished by his community involvement and his contributions to improving public services. Indeed, he served as the secretary for the Municipality of St-Cyrille-de-Wendover from 1977 to 1983, as mayor of Drummondville-Sud from November 1979 to December 1981, and as deputy mayor of Drummondville from December 1981 to November 1983.

Mr. Gagnon continued his educational commitment by sitting on the boards of the St-François School Board from 1985 to 1987 and the Cégep de Drummondville from September 1986 to June 1989. Furthermore, throughout his legal career, Mr. Gagnon has been fully engaged in community activities, notably within the Rotary Club of Drummondville and the Francs Club. He also participated, along with several other founding members, in the creation of the Ste-Croix Foundation, now known as the Ste-Croix/Hériot Foundation.

Within the Bernier Fournier team, Mr. Gagnon will share his experience, knowledge, and complementary, pragmatic view of the law with all members of the firm. Rigorous, methodical, and conscientious, Mr. Gagnon will do everything possible to represent clients’ interests and will strive to find and recommend appropriate solutions to legal disputes.
