In what it calls an “important strategic step” in growing its Montreal and national real estate practice, Dentons Canada has brought on Marie-Andrée Thibault as a partner who will lead the real estate group in the French-speaking city.

Thibault, who makes the move from Fasken Martineau DuMoulin, has more than 15 years of experience in a practice covering real estate developments, acquisitions, sales and financings, with specific expertise in energy, mining, and infrastructure projects, the firm said.
