About François
François was admitted to the Quebec Bar in 1987 after having graduated from the University of Montreal Law and he is one of the founding partners of the firm. Francois specializes in wholesale and retail financing and litigation on all aspects involving a specialized clientele in the field of movable property financing, including the taking of guarantees, execution and contractual drafting.

Over the years, his dedication and hard work have helped and expand Savoie Joubert’s clientele, while ensuring that all clients continue to benefit from personalized first rate service from our firm. François has the pleasure and the honour to serve the Canadian Financial Lease Association (CFLA / ACFL) and he regularly gives conferences to its members and represents the moveable financing industry through the Association before various governmental bodies when legislative changes affect the industry. His experience and availability to clients along with his constant desire to satisfy our clients have been the keys to his success.

François, who regularly pleads before the Quebec Courts, has participated in the outcomes of important decisions rendered by the Quebec Court of Appeal in recognizing the rights of the creditors holding real rights in securitized assets, whether financed or leased, in insurance claims. These decisions have had the effect of improving the leverage creditors/lessors have when dealing with insurers over the last few years.

François is also a member of the Canadian Finance & Leasing Association’s (CFLA / ACFL) Legal Committee.
