Jesse has worked as a legal assistant at Shawn Patenaude Law since May of 2015 in the areas of real estate, estate planning, estate administration and corporate law. In addition, he is in the third year of a Juris Doctor law degree from the University of Saskatchewan.
Shawn's calm demeanour, patience and strong work ethic are attributed to growing up in a large family in small town Saskatchewan. Possessing a natural balance of charm and logic when communicating, makes it easy for him to establish personal relationships based on trust with his clients .
Shawn is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan. In addition to his law degree, Shawn holds a commerce degree with studies in Economics and Financial Planning.
Although Shawn's current practice includes a relatively small amount of court work, Shawn has had the opportunity to participate in several commercial litigation cases including two landmark wins decided by the Supreme Court of Canada ( Bank of Montreal v. Innovation Credit Union, 2010 SCC 47; Royal Bank of Canada v. Radius Credit Union, 2010 SCC 48).
Outside of professional responsibilities, Shawn's favourite pastime is spending time with his beautiful wife Kristy and their three adorable, busy and growing children. Chances are, if you spend time in the Yorkton area, you just may see him creating an ‘up-do' hairstyle at his daughter's dance class, cheering loudly for the Terriers at the Gallagher centre, getting his butt whooped on the golf course by his son, or enjoying a ‘date night' out with his lovely wife at a local restaurant or theatre.
People are drawn to Shawn because he genuinely is, "Yorkton's friendly, young neighbourhood lawyer."
