Treefort and Avancie Partner to Enhance Fraud Protection for Legal Professionals in Quebec
Treefort Technologies is pleased to announce a new strategic partnership with Avancie, a legal technology provider widely used by notaries and legal professionals across Québec.
This collaboration brings secure digital identity verification directly into the workflows legal professionals rely on every day, helping firms strengthen fraud prevention while meeting evolving regulatory and client identification requirements.
As identity fraud targeting legal transactions continues to grow in sophistication, including impersonation, digitally altered identification, and deepfake enabled deception, traditional verification methods are no longer sufficient. Through this partnership, legal professionals using the Avancie Suite (ParaMaitre®) will benefit from a modern, secure approach to verifying client identity while maintaining a seamless client experience.
Treefort’s platform supports compliance with Law Society and FINTRAC Know Your Client (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, enabling notaries and legal professionals to confidently verify clients while minimizing administrative burden.
Key benefits of the partnership include:
- Secure, multi-factor identity verification aligned with Canadian compliance standards
- Reduced exposure to fraud and impersonation risks
- Improved documentation for audits and insurance requirements
- Faster and more secure client onboarding
- A streamlined digital experience for both firms and clients
A phased integration between Treefort and ParaMaitre® is coming soon and will allow identity verification to be initiated and recorded directly within client files. Additional updates will be shared as integration milestones are reached.
