Member of the Quebec Bar since 2012, Me Joanie Poirier grew up in the Gaspé Peninsula. After collegial studies in Rimouski and university in Quebec City, Me Poirier decided to move to Montreal where she began her professional career. Attracted by the firm’s influence throughout all regions of Quebec, she quickly carved out a place for herself at Cain Lamarre.
Known for her listening and conciliatory skills, Me Poirier focuses on discussion rather than confrontation in order to offer her clients sound advice based on solid experience in criminal and professional law as well as in litigation.
Sociable and supportive, Me Poirier places a great deal of importance on team spirit. She knows how to surround herself with the best to face the challenges of the mandates she manages with composure. Close to her clients, she is attentive to their needs and available to meet their expectations. It is important for her to keep in touch, visit them and discuss with them regularly. She is also strongly dedicated to make the court experience as pleasant as possible.
During her practice, Me Poirier always provides accurate information. The transparency and precision of her comments ensure that she respects the various stakeholders. A natural leader, she believes in good strategy and schedule to carry out her clients' interests.
Highly involved socially, Me Poirier donates her time to causes such as the social and economic integration of women in the labour market. Since 2015, she has been a member of the Board of Directors of Petites-Mains, whose mission is to enable immigrant women or women in difficulty to achieve financial independence and break their isolation.
A music lover, Me Poirier is very interested in the cultural scene, humor and theater. She regularly attends theaters and is a member of the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde's young ambassadors as a member of the Comité des Jeunes Premiers of TNM.
