This website does not use analytics, advertising, behavioural tracking, or session-recording technologies.
We do not intentionally place cookies on your device for analytics or marketing purposes.
However, certain technical cookies may be created by your browser, hosting provider, or third-party services necessary for the proper functioning of website features.

This information is used solely for website administration, cybersecurity, and operational purposes.
5. Retention of Personal Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, or protect our legitimate professional interests.
If an inquiry does not lead to the establishment of a professional relationship, personal information will be retained only for the period reasonably required to address the inquiry and maintain our records.
If a professional relationship is established, personal information will be managed in accordance with the professional and ethical obligations applicable to members of the Barreau du Québec and the Chambre des notaires du Québec, as applicable.
