Gascon & Associates, led by partner Jean Proulx, associate Catherine Ramsay Piérard, and notary MarieChantale Dubé, assisted its client, Les Pneus Robert Bernard Ltée (Groupe Bernard)—one of Québec’s largest tire retailers—in the acquisition of Pneus G.B.M., a leading tire sales, repair, and installation company with operations from Abitibi to MontLaurier.

Groupe Bernard operates across Québec through more than 20 service locations specializing in tire and mechanical services. The acquisition strengthens its footprint in Abitibi, where it already has a strong presence, including in Vald’Or, RouynNoranda, La Sarre, MontLaurier, Chibougamau, VilleMarie, and Amos.

By combining two recognized leaders in tire and mechanical services, the transaction is expected to enhance the quality and reach of services offered to Groupe Bernard’s customers.

From the letter of intent through to closing, the Gascon team advised at every stage—negotiating and finalizing the definitive purchase agreement and related ancillary documents—to complete this significant acquisition within a few months.

Gascon & Associates regularly advises on business acquisitions, whether structured as share purchases or asset transactions.
