Me Rita Nehmé a été reçue membre du Barreau du Québec en mars 2023 et elle a immédiatement rejoint l’équipe de KB avocats. Le droit de la famille ayant toujours été son domaine de prédilection, pour ses facettes psychosociales et humaines, elle s’est assurée d’y orienter ses implications académiques et professionnelles. Ainsi, elle a eu l’opportunité d’acquérir, autant au sein d’organismes publics que privés, une expérience en représentation devant les tribunaux, et fait preuve de versatilité et de rigueur.

C’est dans cet état d’esprit qu’elle s’implique auprès de sa communauté, notamment en étant membre du Conseil d’Administration de la Maison Caracol, centre de pédiatrie social, affilié à la Fondation du Dr Julien. Dans ce cadre, il est un plaisir pour elle de mettre son savoir-être et son savoir-faire au service des familles et des enfants bénéficiaires. Pour Me Nehmé, savoir c’est pouvoir. Pour cette raison, elle accorde une grande importance au lien de confiance qu’elle bâtit avec sa clientèle, et s’assure que l’information qu’elle leur transmet soit aussi claire que possible et, surtout, dans le meilleur intérêt de leur situation et de ses particularités. Elle se fera un plaisir de vous rencontrer, en français ou en anglais.
