Francis Robitaille
Mtre. Francis Robitaille began his studies with a Paralegal Diploma at O’Sullivan College, in Montreal. While interning with Mtre Paul Péladeau, notary in Brossard, Mtre Robitaille was charmed by the notarial profession. Thus he continued his academic career with a Law degree (LL.L) at the University of Ottawa in 2016, and a Master’s in Law (LL.M) at the same establishment in 2017.
While completing his Master’s degree, Mtre. Robitaille had the opportunity to write a research paper under Mariève Lacroix’s supervision. The essay, entitled “L’interprétation par les tribunaux québécois de l’adverbe ‘notamment’ dans l’article 422 du Code civil du Québec concernant le partage inégal du patrimoine familial”, represented the University of Ottawa at the Chaire du notariat’s prestigious essay competition. Writing this research paper allowed Mtre Robitaille to kindle his passion for family law throughout his university education.
After working for Péladeau Brossard Notary, a legal firm based in Brossard, for several summers, Mtre Robitaille decided to settle in Outaouais and joined Desnoyers Laroche at the beginning of 2017. It is there that Mtre. Robitaille completed his internship for the Chambre des Notaires in the fall of 2017.
Sworn in as a notary in April 2018, Mtre Robitaille will be pleased to assist you with your wills and estates needs.
