Law 25 lawyer in Montreal: talk to a lawyer specialized in personal information protection
Some situations call for more than a template. Our partner lawyer, whose practice focuses on personal information protection, contacts businesses in Montreal and across Quebec directly. Free referral, no obligation.
Key points
Law 25 applies to every business in Quebec. For most small businesses, well-designed templates and a rigorous process are enough. But once a file becomes sensitive (an incident with a risk of serious injury, a regulated sector, a request from the CAI), a lawyer's advice becomes necessary.
Fill out the form below: with your consent, we forward your request to our independent partner lawyer, a member of the Barreau du Québec, who serves Montreal and the entire province. She usually contacts you within one to two business days.
Full transparency: the referral is free, Law 25 Kit receives no commission, and any fees are agreed directly with the lawyer.

A Law 25 lawyer in Montreal, service across Quebec
Most of the requests we forward come from businesses in the greater Montreal area: shops, clinics, agencies and service businesses in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the North and South Shores. The density of businesses there multiplies the collection of personal information, and customer expectations around privacy are high.
That said, a personal information protection mandate is almost always handled remotely: document review, video calls, secure exchanges. Whether your business is in Montreal, Quebec City, the Eastern Townships or Abitibi, the service is the same, and so are the obligations under Law 25.
The advantage of a Quebec lawyer over an out-of-province resource: experience before the Commission d'accès à l'information and a solid knowledge of the local business context.

The referral is free and without obligation. If you decide to retain the lawyer, her fees are agreed directly between you and her: Law 25 Kit receives no commission and is not involved in that agreement.
Is Law 25 Kit a law firm?

Do I need to have bought the kit to use this service?
No. The form is open to any business that needs legal support related to Law 25, whether or not it is a customer.
Can the lawyer work with me in English?
Mention your preferred language in the form. Your request is flagged as coming from the English site so the lawyer can plan accordingly.
Do you only serve Montreal?
No. The partner lawyer serves Montreal and all of Quebec: the vast majority of personal information protection mandates are handled entirely remotely.
What happens to the information I submit?
It is sent to the partner lawyer only with your explicit consent, so that she can contact you about your request. We do not use it for any other purpose and never sell it. Details in our privacy policy.
