Canada | Press release - People | April 2023
We welcome new partners Stéphane Eljarrat and Frédéric Plamondon, to our firm, adding more experience and enhancing our outstanding white-collar crime defence team. The team will support clients during a time of greater regulatory and government activity, as well as investigation and enforcement.
Stéphane, a Chambers Band 1 ranked lawyer, led the white-collar defence practice at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt. He represents corporate and institutional clients in a wide range of criminal investigations and proceedings brought under various federal criminal statutes. He joins us as a senior partner and Canadian head of the white-collar crime team.
“I am thrilled to join the fantastic Norton Rose Fulbright team. Our team has the depth and reach to serve our clients in Canada and globally in the white-collar and investigations space. Canadian and foreign entities are increasingly facing complex issues as a result of the heightened focus on government enforcement as well as the increased level of cross-border cooperation between authorities,” said Stéphane Eljarrat.
Frédéric joins us as a partner and is a highly regarded litigator with considerable experience and a strong focus on white-collar defence, securities litigation and class action matters, advising clients on a wide range of investigations, fraud and other financial crime matters, including foreign corruption.
“Norton Rose Fulbright’s global platform combined with such an amazing team presents a unique opportunity to continue to grow my practice in the white-collar space as well as in securities litigation where the firm excels,” said Frédéric Plamondon.
Stéphane and Frédéric join a team that settled the country’s most significant case of corruption involving a foreign public official, and secured the first-ever deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in Canada under the leadership of François Fontaine. The team offers clients an outstanding bench of senior legal talent to support their needs in cases involving whistleblowing and internal investigations through charges laid and settlements on allegations of fraud, money laundering, international sanctions, foreign corruption and securities matters.
