Alexandre Emond is co-managing partner of Liedekerke. He represents investors and domestic players in a range of matters, including the negotiation of long lease agreements and residential sector project developments.

In very complex negotiations or contracting, Alexandre is always able to synthesise the information and say: these are the options we have on the table. He always has a really clear summary.
