About Laperrière Rochefort Professional Corporation

Laperriere Rochefort Professional Corporation is a small law firm based in North Bay, Ontario, serving the city along with the Districts of Nipissing and Parry Sound. The practice was built by Lucie Laperriere Rochefort, who was born and raised in the North Bay area, studied at Laurentian University, and completed a law degree at the University of Ottawa in 1990. After articling at a large Ottawa firm and holding positions at the Supreme Court of Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services, Laperriere Rochefort was called to the bar in 1993 and opened a North Bay practice, becoming one of the city's first bilingual female sole practitioners.

The firm now handles real estate transactions, estate administration, and wills and estate planning, work it describes as more than 5,000 real estate closings and 3,500 wills and estates matters over more than 30 years of combined legal experience. Barrister and solicitor Sagar Chaudhary, who holds an LL.M. from the University of Edinburgh and is also qualified to practice in India, joined the firm and assists clients in English, Hindi, and Punjabi. The law clerk team includes Mariia, who practiced law in Ukraine before joining the firm in 2022 and works with clients in English, Ukrainian, and Russian, and Pamela, a certified corporate law clerk who also understands French.
