Intake, never legal advice
Quebec trade rule for lawyers and notaries.
The rule
The Barreau writes that generative AI can improve the intake of new or potential clients, “without replacing legal advice.” A notary addressing the public must stress the general nature or limits of the information provided (art. 67). Max's welcome message says that he is the firm's AI assistant and does not give advice; when asked what to do, he offers a consultation.
