NOMOS Québec The Opportunity

The Market

28,000 Quebec lawyers spend $130M a year on legal tech, and none of it was built for them.

28K

Quebec lawyers

Plus 3,500 notaries. Concentrated in Montreal + Quebec City.

$130M

Annual legal-tech spend

Westlaw, Lexis, Clio, PCLaw, plus emerging AI tools.

0

Civil-law-native AI tools

Harvey, Lexis+ AI, Spellbook, TruLexa: all common-law trained.

NOMOS Québec The Problem

Why Quebec firms are stuck

Hallucinated legal citations now cost Quebec lawyers real money and their reputation.

Specter Aviation Ltd. c. Laprade, 2025 QCCS 352. Quebec Superior Court sanctioned a litigant $5,000 for citing AI-hallucinated case law. Barreau du Québec now requires every AI-generated citation be validated.
The wrapper economy. Quebec firms pay $300 to $500 per seat per month for Word add-ins that are essentially ChatGPT in a custom UI, trained on US common law, hosted on US servers.
Loi 25 risk. Most "Canadian legal AI" sends every prompt to OpenAI or Anthropic in the US. Quebec privacy law makes the firm liable, not the vendor.
Bill 96 risk. Contracts of adhesion in Quebec require an equivalent French version. Current AI tools produce Parisian translations, not Quebec French.

NOMOS Québec The Ask

What we need from you, Marc

Capital-light by design. The product does not need outside money to launch. It does need a sounding board.

01

Sounding board

Strategic feedback on the Montreal move timing, partner lawyer selection, and go-to-market cadence.

02

Network intros

Quebec ties or Canadian SaaS contacts who could accelerate beta cohort or partner lawyer search.

03

Time-allocation FYI

Eva keeps running stably. Other Pylox Systems projects on slow track during the 10-week MVP sprint.

04

Optional angel

If interested in equity participation. The product is designed to launch without it.

The window for Quebec-civil-law-native AI is 6 to 12 months before a serious entrant arrives. The single biggest commercial idea in the Pylox Systems portfolio, with both a clear path and visible demand.
