How does PragmaLegal help a law firm apply Law 25?

PragmaLegal centralises the incident register, consents and access logging in the firm’s practice tool. These functions help document personal information protection measures. They do not replace a legal compliance assessment.

Where is legal data hosted in PragmaLegal?

Practice data is hosted in Canada. Details on processors and security measures appear in the privacy policy and the security page.

Can software certify that a firm complies with Law 25?

No. Software helps the firm document its processes. Compliance depends on the firm’s policies, organisational decisions and, where needed, independent legal advice.

What Law 25 evidence might an inspector or auditor request?

An auditor may request the incident register, evidence of consents, access logs and a description of hosting. PragmaLegal lets the firm produce these items when they have been entered in the tool.

Practice management software that supports Law 25 for law firms

PragmaLegal is practice management software hosted in Canada. It helps lawyers and notaries document a confidentiality incident register, record consents, and log access to personal information, in line with the operational expectations of Quebec’s Law 25.

Technical measures for day-to-day Law 25 work

Law 25 requires firms to protect personal information and to show the measures they have taken. PragmaLegal provides the operational building blocks for that demonstration. It does not replace a legal compliance opinion.

Confidentiality incident register

The firm records the date, nature and corrective measures for an incident. The register remains available to the person responsible for personal information and for a possible notice to the Commission d’accès à l’information.

Granular consent

Consents can be recorded by purpose, with date and status. Withdrawal of consent is logged so the firm can respond to access or correction requests.

Access logging

Significant actions on matters and client data are logged. These records support an internal audit and an investigation after an incident.

Servers located in Canada

Practice data is hosted in Canada. That location matches the usual expectation of Quebec and Canadian firms regarding data sovereignty.
