Consultation with a lawyer

Clear legal advice, tailored to your business.

How does a consultation with a lawyer work?

Business structure, contracts, shareholder agreements, buying or selling a business: whatever your question, a lawyer who works in business law will make it clear and point you toward the best answer.

The best legal advice is usually the advice you get before the problem arrives. Use your consultation to go over a contract before signing, plan a transaction or test your strategy.

More than a one-off answer, it is a chance to build a relationship with a legal adviser who understands what running a business is actually like.

What is included in the consultation

  • A confidential discussion with a lawyer who is a member of the Barreau du Québec
  • By telephone or video, whichever you prefer
  • Advice on every aspect of business law
  • Concrete strategies and recommendations
  • Your documents reviewed with you, during the consultation

Frequently asked questions

Worth knowing

Three lengths are offered: 30 minutes at $175, 60 minutes at $299 and 90 minutes at $399, plus taxes. The price is fixed and payable online when you book.

We contact you within 24 business hours of your order to set the appointment around your availability. If the lawyer is free, the consultation can even take place the same day.

The consultation takes place by telephone or by video, whichever you prefer. You set out your situation, the lawyer answers your questions and you leave with concrete recommendations.

Every aspect of business law: choice of structure, incorporation, contracts and how they are built, shareholder agreements, buying or selling a business or its assets, reorganizations, and how court proceedings work when a dispute is taking shape.

You buy a block of time that is reserved for you. If time is left at the end, it is neither refunded nor carried forward. If the discussion runs on, the lawyer tells you before continuing: you may stop there at no additional cost, or carry on. In that case the additional time is billed in six-minute increments, that is one tenth of an hour, at the hourly rate of the lawyer responsible for the file, and subject to that lawyer being available at the time. The invoice is sent to you after the session and is payable on receipt.

Thirty minutes suits a focused question, sixty lets you go deeper into an issue or review a short document, and ninety allows a full analysis of your situation. If you are unsure, our AI assistant can point you the right way.

Yes. You can send us your documents in advance, but they are reviewed with you, during the consultation. What we sell is consultation time: the review happens in session, so you understand each comment and can ask your questions as they arise.

We normally prepare and file within 24 to 48 business hours, depending on how busy the period is. The issuance of official documents by the authorities, such as the Québec enterprise registrar or Corporations Canada, depends on those authorities’ own processing times.

You add the service to your cart and pay securely online. You then send us the necessary information, and the lawyer responsible for your file carries out the mandate. You receive your documents by email.

No. The AI assistant exists only to help you choose among our services; it has no legal effect. All legal work is performed by the lawyer responsible for your file, a member of the Barreau du Québec.

If you withdraw before the work begins, we refund you, less processing and billing administration fees of $100. No refund is possible once the work has begun. If we are not in a position to serve you, you are refunded in full.
