eDiscovery
in Hamilton.
Superior Court matters at the John Sopinka Courthouse run on the same rules as Toronto’s. We make sure a Hamilton team never has fewer eDiscovery options than a Bay Street one.

Big-file support,
without the big firm.
Hamilton firms carry serious litigation without a review floor to throw at the documents. That is the gap we were built for: senior-led eDiscovery that scales up for one matter and back down the day it produces — no minimum volumes, no ingestion fees, no long-term commitment.
Everything runs remotely on Canadian infrastructure, with the same tooling the largest Toronto files use: Nuix Discover for hosted review, Claira for AI-assisted first passes, bilingual reviewers when the file calls for them.
The local rules
The rules, as they run
in Hamilton.
Hamilton’s civil list sits at the John Sopinka Courthouse on Main Street East, seat of the Superior Court’s Central South Region. The framework is Ontario’s: a written discovery plan under Rule 29.1 inside 60 days, an affidavit of documents under Rule 30 disclosing every document relevant to any matter in issue, Sedona Canada consulted along the way, and Case Center carrying the documents into the courtroom.
The discipline of a well-run discovery travels the QEW unchanged — what a Commercial List judge expects of a production is what a Hamilton master will hold you to. We build the record the same way in both places.

What we do
eDiscovery,
à la carte.
We support law firms, in-house counsel and public bodies in Hamilton along the whole eDiscovery timeline. Take one stage or hand over the file: our team becomes your team, and you buy only the slice you need.
Preserve & collect
The hold in place, the custodians interviewed, the data collected forensically — from mailboxes and chat platforms to phones and twelve binders of paper.
Process & assess
Best-in-class processing into one consistent, deduplicated set, then an early assessment that strips the obvious noise before a lawyer reads a page.
Review
Managed review, properly staffed: relevance, issues and privilege coded by bilingual reviewers, with AI assistance that shows its work.
Produce & defend
Productions built for whoever is on the other side — load files, redactions, privilege logs and the affidavit or list of documents to back them.
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 Hamilton.
Supporting a review in Hamilton does not require a review floor downtown. Our reviewers work inside the hosted platform, on Canadian infrastructure, under the same confidentiality terms and protective orders as your own team.
You get first-pass relevance and issue coding with Claira’s AI assistance where it helps, privilege screening and redaction, objective coding, and QC sampling with the numbers to defend it — led by the same senior person who scoped the matter.
FAQ
Questions
we hear.
Do we need a Toronto vendor for a Hamilton matter?
No. The rules, the platforms and the production formats are identical, and the work is remote — your data sits in Canadian data centres either way. Choose the team, not the postal code; ours answers the phone the same day from one city over.
How fast can a review start?
Processing starts as soon as data lands, and a calibrated review team — with Claira carrying the first pass — is usually making calls within days of scope being agreed, not weeks.
Do you have people in Hamilton?
Our team works from Ottawa and Montréal, and matters in Hamilton run the way modern eDiscovery runs everywhere — hosted review, remote collection tooling and video calls. Where your counsel sits does not change where your data sits: it stays in Canadian data centres. When an on-site collection is genuinely needed, we arrange it.
Where we work

across Canada.
