Duncan Fraser

One of Canada’s leading eDiscovery lawyers, Duncan has over 20 years’ experience in public and private practice, including substantial litigation experience in fraud, aboriginal, environmental and injunctive matters. His strategic and investigative leadership has placed him at the centre of many high-profile and contentious disputes dealing with fraud, corruption and environmental contamination, and he continues to provide strategic advice and evidentiary support to law firms and corporate and government clients in contentious proceedings. At noticia, Duncan manages the firm’s litigation strategy and support, privacy, advisory and technology services practice.

Prior to moving to private practice in 2015, Duncan was General Counsel and Director of eDiscovery and National Litigation Support Services for the federal Department of Justice, where under his direction the Department became a public leader in electronic discovery. He created the Department’s evidence management service, which delivers expedited document review to litigation teams across the country, advised other departments on litigation readiness to reduce the cost, risk and disruption of the disclosure process, and led the Department’s eService initiative, disclosure project management, courtroom technology, and the development of national eDiscovery standards and best practices.
