"Dentons Advises Montreal Port Authority on Major Contrecœur Expansion Project"

Dentons, Canada’s Global Law Firm, acted as the principal legal advisor to the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) in connection with the Port of Montreal expansion project in Contrecœur. The project involved collaboration with DP World in Canada, a joint venture between Dubai-based DP World and La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, as well as the CTCGP consortium formed by Pomerleau and Aecon. The transaction includes the development of an advanced container terminal capable of handling 1.15 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) annually by 2030. On September 8, 2025, the MPA and DP World in Canada entered into a Joint Development Agreement for the land-based works of the terminal expansion. Subsequently, on October 9, 2025, the MPA awarded a CA$609 million contract for in-water works to the CTCGP consortium, which will oversee the design and construction of docks and necessary dredging, with work commencing in 2026 upon obtaining required authorizations. The Dentons team advising the MPA was co-led by partners Mathilde Carrière, Ali Amadee, and Lampros Stougiannos, supported by core team members Mira Gauvin, Wasiu Omotoso, Anoosh Loertscher, and Sabrina Mach. Additional support was provided by Claude Morency, Ilan Dunsky, Simon Gauthier, Guillaume Savard, Heidi Clark, Steven Nguyen, Alexandre-Philippe Avard, Marie-Andrée Thibault, Stéphane Beaulac, Richard Gauthier, Manon Jubinville, Amélie Pelland, Sarah-Émilie Dubois, Dragann Mallette, and Justin Hamzo.
