Troy McEachren joins McCarthy Tétrault as Firm Expands Charities and Private Wealth Expertise in Quebec

We are pleased to welcome Troy McEachren to the Firm as a Partner in Montréal, joining our Tier 1-ranked National Tax Group. Troy brings distinguished experience advising charities, foundations, and not-for-profit organizations. He will work closely with Robert Hayhoe and Nicole D’Aoust in our Charities and Non-Profits Group and will broaden the depth and scope of our robust Private Wealth, Estates and Trusts Group.
Widely regarded as a leading legal advisor in the charitable sector, Troy is nationally recognized for his expertise and is currently the highest-ranked Quebec lawyer in Chambers and Partners for charities and non-profits. He is also distinguished by Lexpert and Best Lawyers for his expertise in this area. He has extensive experience advising charities, foundations, and other tax-exempt organizations on governance, fiduciary obligations, and compliance with complex tax regulations, significantly enhancing our ability to serve philanthropic organizations in Quebec and across Canada.
In addition to his charities expertise, Troy maintains a broad trusts and estates practice, advising high-net-worth individuals, families, and trustees on succession planning, cross-border tax matters, and charitable giving. He further deepens our capabilities through his work on fiduciary obligations and estate litigation, strengthening our ability to serve private clients and family offices in Quebec while reinforcing our national private wealth platform.
Bilingual in English and French, and with recognized expertise across civil and common law, Troy offers clients seamless advice on governance, regulatory, and operational matters, as well as related tax matters. His arrival reflects McCarthy Tétrault’s continued investment in a fully integrated national tax practice that supports both charitable organizations and private clients with local insight and global reach.
“Troy brings exceptional expertise in the charitable and tax-exempt space, with a reputation for strategic insight and technical excellence,” said Raj Juneja, Co-Head of McCarthy Tétrault’s National Tax Group. “His arrival deepens our ability to support philanthropic organizations with governance, compliance, and tax planning advice in Quebec and nationally.”
