A lawyer (or notary in Quebec) safeguards your legal interests and reviews contracts. They ensure that all agreements are fair and legally sound, providing expert advice to protect your rights. Lawyers can also represent you in legal matters, offering comprehensive support throughout the process. In Quebec, notaries perform similar functions, focusing on non-contentious legal affairs. Their expertise is crucial for navigating complex legal documents and transactions.
