Montréal—Dentons is pleased to announce that Stéphane Beaulac has joined the Firm as counsel in our Litigation and Dispute Resolution group.

Based in Montréal, Stéphane will focus primarily on constitutional law, including environmental and aboriginal law. Along with his work at Dentons, Stéphane is a full professor at the Faculty of Law, Université de Montréal, where he teaches constitutional and international law.

“We are thrilled to welcome Stéphane to the Firm,” said Claude Morency Managing Partner of Dentons’ Montréal office. “His extensive knowledge, experience and qualifications will enable us to raise the bar in our constitutional law practice. His writings have won awards, and have been cited by the Supreme Court of Canada, and International Court of Justice in The Hague. His expertise in legislative drafting and interpretation was called upon in Québec, and he was also a witness on public law matters before parliamentary committees in Ottawa”.

Stéphane is the author (or co-author) and co-editor of some 15 law books, and has published more than 100 articles and papers in law journals and other publications, including with Oxford University Press, Cambridge University Press, Springer and Routledge. 

He clerked at the Supreme Court of Canada, and was a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence, a Neil MacCormick Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, a James Flaherty Fellow at the University College Cork, and a visiting professor in Toulouse, Amsterdam, Ulster, Trento and Padua.

Stéphane holds a PhD in international public law from the University of Cambridge, where he also earned an LLM (first class honour) in comparative constitutional law. His background is bijural: civil law at the University of Ottawa (summa cum laude) and common law at Dalhousie Law School. He is a member of the Ontario Bar.
