eDiscovery
in Halifax.
Atlantic Canada’s biggest files run through the Law Courts on Upper Water Street. We give Halifax litigation teams the collection, review and production capacity to carry them.

Atlantic files,
fully resourced.
Halifax is the legal and commercial centre of Atlantic Canada — the regional firms are headquartered here, and the region’s shipping, defence, insurance, energy and class-action work concentrates here with them. The document sets are getting bigger; the review benches mostly are not.
We close that gap remotely: defensible collection from cloud tenancies, devices and shared drives, processing that cuts the set before lawyers read, hosted review with Claira carrying the first pass, and productions with the affidavit support behind them. No minimums, and nothing to ship across the harbour.
The local rules
Rule 16, at the
Law Courts.
The Supreme Court of Nova Scotia and the Court of Appeal both sit at the Law Courts at 1815 Upper Water Street, and Halifax matters carry the full weight of the province’s disclosure framework: the presumption of full disclosure in Rule 14.08, preservation and exact-copy duties under Rule 16.02, and the sworn Affidavit Disclosing Electronic Information within 45 days of the close of pleadings.
Rule 16’s “thorough keyword searches” language makes search design a compliance matter here, not a convenience. We build and test those searches against the actual data — hit reports, sampling, refinement — so the affidavit describes a search that was genuinely sufficient.

What we do
eDiscovery,
à la carte.
Our services do not start at loading documents and do not end at producing them. For litigation teams in Halifax, we work anywhere along the eDiscovery timeline — from the moment a matter is reasonably anticipated to the day the evidence is used at trial.
Preserve & collect
Litigation holds, custodian interviews and defensible collection from M365, Google Workspace, mobile devices and the DMS — with hashes and chain of custody.
Process & assess
Everything into one reviewable set — deduplicated, threaded, de-NISTed — and an early cut that drops the volume you pay to host.
Review
Bilingual reviewers inside Nuix Discover, with Claira handling first-pass volume and showing its reasoning. Your team keeps every call.
Produce & defend
Exchange-ready productions in the agreed format, with the paperwork — schedules, logs, affidavits — that makes them stick.
Every service is à la carte — the whole menu lives on our services page. We also host Nuix Discover on Canadian infrastructure, put Claira’s AI-assisted review inside it, and take on migrations from platforms being retired out from under their owners.
Managed review
Document review support in Halifax.
Review is where eDiscovery budgets go to die, so it is where we put the most structure. Documents arrive grouped with their threads, families and near-duplicates; first-pass volume goes through Claira, AI-assisted review inside Nuix Discover that shows its reasoning on every call; and bilingual reviewers make the decisions that matter.
For teams in Halifax, that means review support that scales without a hiring spree — staffed quickly, QC-sampled throughout, with privilege screening, redactions and a defensibility record you can stand behind in court.
FAQ
The usual
questions.
Can you support several Atlantic offices on one matter?
Easily — one hosted database serves counsel in Halifax, Moncton, St. John’s and Charlottetown at once, with role-based access and one consistent record of review decisions. Regional firms run cross-office matters with us precisely because nobody has to email a database around.
What does it cost to find out?
Nothing — scoping is free, the estimate is written, and it arrives fast. There are no ingestion fees, no minimum volumes and no long-term commitment: you buy the slice you need, whether that is a licence, a stage of the work, or the whole file.
Can you review documents in French and English?
Yes — bilingual review, correspondence and productions are the default at noticia, not an add-on line item. Reviewers work in both languages, and productions go out in whichever language the matter calls for.
