Portrait of Wendy P.S. Belisle

Overview

I am a dedicated commercial lawyer with a focus on complex areas such as commercial leasing and real property sales and purchases. My focus on Quebec transactions has helped me develop a keen understanding of the market’s dynamics and legal intricacies.

When dealing with real estate purchases and sales, I strive to thoroughly understand my clients’ key objectives. I develop custom strategies centred around these objectives by asking clients pointed questions about their non-negotiables, aspirations and ideal scenarios. I am committed to achieving the best possible results by giving attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture.

A highlight of my career was helping to negotiate numerous Quebec leases for a foreign business, which led to a successful launch.

Being a member of both the Ontario and Quebec bars and having a diverse professional experience in the private, public and non-profit sectors has endowed me with a unique mix of business law expertise. My overall experience and collaborations with other professionals in various fields give me the versatility to ally my legal knowledge with pragmatic business concerns.

I take pride in my legal chops, but also my holistic perspective on business, which fuels my ability to take a balanced and well-informed approach when helping clients navigate commercial real estate issues.
