Youth protection

Our lawyers can represent you before the Youth Chamber when you have a case involving children or adolescents whose safety, development, or well-being is at risk. Our team will assist you throughout the legal process.

Comprehensive legal support in matters of youth protection

- Legal representation of the parties: Our team can represent various individuals in a youth protection case, such as the child or adolescent, the parents or guardians, and other interested parties (a family member seeking custody).

- Legal advice: We will explain the Youth Protection Act (YPA) and the legal procedures, advise you on available remedies, and evaluate the solutions proposed by the Youth Protection Directorate (DPJ).

- Negotiation of a draft agreement with the DPJ: We can seek measures adapted to the child's needs by mutual agreement with the other parties to avoid a trial.

- Court representation: Our lawyers will argue your position at hearings, challenge the DPJ's evidence or recommendations, and propose alternatives. - Post-judgment monitoring: once a judgment is rendered, our lawyers can request a review of the measures and support you in the process if the situation changes.
