Robic LLP (Quebec City, Montreal)
robic.ca
The firm stems from a patent and trademark agency founded in 1892 by the Marion brothers,
who were both engineers. Raymond Robic joined in 1917, adding his name to the letterhead in
1932 and growing the firm into the specialist, 25-lawyer boutique it is today. In May 2011, the
firm opened a new office in Quebec City, with a team of lawyers who jumped over from a large
national firm. It works for clients in the cosmetics, luxury goods, petro-chemical, entertainment, technology, and food-and-retail sectors.
