Stéphanie Poirier

Stéphanie Poirier is a native of Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and was called to the Quebec Bar in 2013. Ever since then, she has built a solid reputation in the field of Health Law.

Her practice is rooted in defending health care establishments against civil liability claims, and attests to her high level of expertise in professional liability matters specific to the health care sector. She stands out for her knowledge of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the health network and the issues faced by the health and social services establishments she supports. 

Ms. Poirier’s expertise extends beyond litigation to include legal advice on complex issues of Health Law and personal injury. Her practice also includes Professional and Disciplinary Law, where she works closely with various professional orders, assisting syndics’ offices with conducting disciplinary investigations.

A 2012 graduate of Université Laval, Ms. Poirier quickly made her mark at Cain Lamarre. Her commitment to excellence is reflected not only in her legal practice, but also in her active involvement in the recruitment and mentoring of younger lawyers at the firm. She is renowned for her exceptional listening skills, unshakeable determination and exemplary professional rigour. She is also a great believer in team spirit, which she sees as the key to success. Beyond her own practice, Ms. Poirier actively contributes to the advancement of legal knowledge in her field. She has authored several articles on topics such as professional liability, confidentiality of medical records and advance medical directives. Her community engagement, notably as a member of the board of directors of Centraide Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, attests to her desire to make a difference outside the practice of Law.
