Pierre joined Monette Barakett in 1971. From the start of his career, he was involved in the firm’s management. He was its managing partner for nearly 20 years.

Pierre’s interests lie in all matters relating to governance. He serves on the board of several charitable organizations as well as boards that manage religious community contingency funds. His extensive experience allows him to support these institutions in their strategic planning and the direction of their mission.

Pierre has extensive knowledge of the laws, charters and governance practices that pertain to religious institutions.

He is primarily consulted on matters falling within the following domains: assistance and support in ongoing operations (governance, bids, organizational succession, contract drafting and analysis), the application and interpretation of laws governing religious institutions (incorporation and structuring and introduction of private interest bills), restructuring (corporate restructuring of entities involved in canonical restructuring, asset assignment contracts, collateral contracts and service contracts), and contingency funds (constitution, internal organization, and fund transfers). Pierre serves as legal advisor to a number of religious institutions and charitable organizations. He also defends their interests before judicial and administrative bodies.
