IP & Technology Lawyer
in Montreal

Yes. Aghil Ebrahimi, Esq. is an active member of the Barreau du Québec (No. 333681-6) and a graduate of the Université de Montréal. He is authorized to advise and represent clients on Quebec law matters, including IP, technology contracts, AI compliance, and privacy under Loi 25.

Yes. Loi 25 imposes the strictest privacy obligations in North America, including mandatory privacy impact assessments, breach notification within 72 hours of risk, designated privacy officers, and consent rules stricter than PIPEDA. We help Montreal businesses build compliant data practices, draft bilingual privacy policies, and respond to incidents before regulators intervene.

Yes. We advise Montreal-based AI companies on the interplay between Quebec's Loi 25, Canada's proposed Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA), PIPEDA, and US AI regulations for companies operating cross-border.

Quebec's Charter of the French Language requires that public signage, commercial advertising, and most consumer-facing materials in Quebec be available in French. Trademarks have specific exemptions but those exemptions have narrowed under recent reforms. We design trademark portfolios that survive Charter scrutiny and we advise on bilingual brand strategy from the start.

Quebec is a Civil Law jurisdiction, distinct from the common law systems of every other Canadian province. Contract interpretation, default obligations, and consumer protection rules differ in meaningful ways. A US or English-Canadian contract template often misfires when applied to Quebec relationships. Contracts drafted with Civil Law in mind are enforceable; those that aren't can be unenforceable in part or whole.

Yes. Bilingual contract drafting, translation review, and conflict-of-clauses analysis between English and French versions are part of the practice. Many Quebec contracts must operate in both languages, and the controlling-language clause matters. We draft both versions in parallel rather than translating after the fact.

Yes. We hold bar admissions in Quebec, Ontario, and California, which means USPTO and CIPO filings, US and Canadian privacy compliance, and US-Quebec contract work all stay under one engagement. Most Montreal clients with US ambitions need both jurisdictions covered, and the timing of cross-border filings matters.

Our Montreal clients include AI and machine-learning companies, gaming and media studios, fintech and SaaS startups, content creators and influencers, and businesses entering the Quebec market from outside Canada. If your business creates, licenses, or depends on technology or creative IP, we can help — in English, French, or Persian.
