Distinction between « Practising advocate » and « Foreign legal consultant »
The Foreign legal consultant may use the prefix “Me” or “Mtre” before his name provided it is followed by the title “foreign legal consultant” or the initials “f.l.c.” and a reference to the State where he is legally authorized to practise law.
He may give legal advice and consultations on legal matters involving the law of the State where he is legally authorized to practise law or involving matters under public international law, but he may not plead before a tribunal.
Please contact the Barreau du Québec at infobarreau@barreau.qc.ca to know the State where this Foreign legal consultant is legally authorized to practise law and for more details on the restrictions that apply to this type of permit.
