Today, we announce that our partner and good friend, Jean Charest, is retiring from the partnership at McCarthy Tétrault, as of Friday, January 19, 2024.

Jean joined McCarthy Tétrault in 2013 after an illustrious career in public service spanning almost 30 years. As a partner of our firm and a mentor to many, he acted as a strategic advisor to our practice and our clients, leveraging his unique understanding of politics and international affairs. 

Jean expressed the desire to continue the practice of law as a partner, past our mandatory retirement age, which is not possible in McCarthy Tétrault’s structure. We respect his decision to pursue another chapter in his professional life, and we are grateful for his numerous contributions. 

We wish him all the best in this next chapter of his distinguished career.
