Me Pitre focuses his practice on civil and commercial disputes as well as on different legal fields such as property law, labour law, insurance law, the law of succession, civil liability, shareholder disputes and proceedings against directors.

He also practises transport law and has been called on to advise and represent his clients in all spheres of activity in relation to this field of law, including during behaviour verification hearings or permit applications before the Commission des transports du Québec, as well as in relation to contract drafting and account collection. He also represents and advises his clients who receive statements of offence.

Being called on to work in a variety of files involving several law disciplines, he has developed a multidisciplinary approach to the analysis of the mandates entrusted to him, thereby providing his clients with better service. Furthermore, he does not hesitate to assess all possible options—including alternative dispute resolution methods—with his clients.
