Mark was born in Ottawa and has practised law in the city’s west end since 1981. The following year, his oldest office associate was born. He and his wife live in Alta Vista where they spend as much time as possible with their two young grandchildren, an exhausting pastime he suffers every chance he gets. When he is not in the office or at the Calabogie Motorsport Park, Mark can probably be found (or not) sailing or otherwise wasting time at his cottage at an undisclosed location.

Some years ago (but still several years before Jerry Seinfeld’s version), Mark engaged in several conversations over his car phone – attached in those days to the car – with the driver who had stolen it. The thief bought gas (and a map … ?) with Mark’s VISA card (also in the car – Mark has learned many lessons the hard way) and then, dressed in Mark’s gym clothes from the trunk, held up a bank before colliding with another vehicle on Parkdale Avenue later that same day and fleeing the scene before Mark could ask him why the driver’s seat was soaking wet. You can’t make this stuff up.

Matthew was born and raised in Ottawa’s east end but before joining Arbique and Ahde in 2019, he practised law in Toronto and British Columbia.

He’s experienced in appearing before the Ontario courts, as well as advocating for administrative tribunals, such as the Ontario Real Estate Association. Matthew also acts as outside general counsel for many not-for-profit corporations, including university and college student unions and arts and culture organizations. Matthew began his legal career working for the British Columbia government and then moved to Toronto, working in-house at an automotive company.

He obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa and his Master of Laws (LL.M.) from the University of Victoria. As such, Matthew is licensed to practise law in Ontario and British Columbia.

Before Matthew attended law school, he had a previous career as a wildland firefighter. He now works from the safety of his office.

Raymond grew up in Rockland and obtained his law degree from the University of Ottawa. He was called to the Ontario Bar in 2013, and has been practising law in Ottawa and the surrounding areas ever since.

He regularly advises businesses and their owners on a variety of matters ranging from shareholder agreements and mergers and acquisitions, to corporate financing and contractual mattes (and everything in between). Raymond is knowledgeable about the Ottawa business community and his clients rely on him for sound advice to make some of their most important decisions.

Ray is a passionate fan of the Montreal Canadiens. As a teenager, he took the train to Montreal to catch a game with his friends. While they somehow managed to keep themselves properly fed and watered, they also scored their own fifteen minutes of fame as the “Molson Fans of the Game” on the big screen at the Bell Centre. He now sells autographs to his many adoring fans.

Emilie has lived in the west end of Ottawa since 2016, when she moved to the city to pursue post-secondary education at the University of Ottawa. She was called to the Ontario Bar in 2023. Emilie, whose first language is French, is fully bilingual and can assist clients in both languages. She practices in the areas of residential real estate, will drafting, estate administration, corporate law, and litigation.

When she is not working, Emilie enjoys visiting wineries with friends, spending time at the cottage with her husband, traveling, reading, and listening to and discovering new music.

Emilie is a proud member of the Rotary Club of West Ottawa, a fulfilling pursuit that allows her to contribute to her local and international community while learning new things and meeting new people.

Emilie grew up in the countryside of Verner, Ontario, a small town in the Municipality of West Nipissing, where one can find a small but vibrant community of Franco-Ontarians and the best poutine in Ontario (an uncontested fact). As a child, Emilie had to plant and harvest potatoes in her father’s potato garden every spring and fall, a much-dreaded responsibility she now looks back on with fondness.
