Atelier sur les baux commerciaux : 4 juin 10-13h (5455 de Gaspé)
En collaboration avec la Clinique juridique du Mile End, nous offrirons un atelier gratuit sur les baux commerciaux le 4 juin de 10h à 13h (5455 de Gaspé #604). De manière générale, la présentation de l’avocat se fera en anglais (avec clarifications en français, si nécessaire), mais les questions pourront, elles, être adressées en français ou en anglais. Afin de rendre la présentation accessible à tous nos membres, Pied Carré fera son possible pour traduire, résumer et assurer une compréhension adéquate des informations en français. Un grand merci à l’avocat Adam Sargon pour le temps précieux qu’il consacrera à l’organisation de cet atelier!
