Osler is pleased to welcome Stéphane Eljarrat back to the firm’s national Litigation practice group.

Known for his composed and focused approach, Stéphane represents corporate clients, institutions and their senior leadership in a wide range of criminal investigations and proceedings brought under competition, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and other federal legislation.

Ranked Band 1 by Chambers Canada in White-Collar Crime and Government Investigations, Stéphane will work closely with Osler’s market-leading Risk Management and Crisis Response team and lead the firm’s White-Collar Defence practice.
