Maitre Chianetta graduated from the Université de Montréal Faculty of Law in 1997 and was added to the Quebec roll of the Order of Advocates in 1998. Her multidisciplinary career path and experience as a Senior Legal Advisor for the Association des Syndicats de copropriété du Québec (ASCQ) from 2004 to 2006 led to her decision in 2006 to head a department in an Old Montreal law firm that specialized in co-ownershio rights. In late 2007, she founded her own firm.
Maitre Chianetta has specialized in co-ownership law since 2004 and she has built up extensive expertise as a mediator and arbitrator.
Her specialized practice offers legal advice and represents many condominium and co-owner associations in order to preserve, protect and defend their interests in the event of disputes or conflicts over their respective rights and duties.
Maitre Chianetta is very aware of the issues faced by owners and stakeholders in a co-ownership and is always up to speed on the many facets and aspects of her field. She disseminates information that is affordable, acurrate and of high quality. She is a member of the FCQ (Fédération des Copropriétaires du Québec) Board of Directors, a professional member of the RGCQ (Regroupement des Gestionnaires et des Copropriétaires du Québec) and a professional member of Condo Conseils (Expo Condo), where she works on a volontary basis as legal consel and a columnist.
