eDiscovery,
from Ottawa.
noticia is an Ottawa company. We support the capital’s firms, agencies and in-house teams through discovery in both official languages — under the Ontario rules and the Federal Courts Rules alike.

Our home
court.
We work from Ottawa, and the capital litigates like nowhere else in the province: litigation boutiques and national-firm offices alongside departments, agencies, tribunals and Crown corporations — with English and French running through the same file as a matter of course.
Ottawa evidence has its own shape too: access-to-information records, government mailboxes, parliamentary and regulatory material, public inquiries and audits. We collect it defensibly, host it in Canada, and put a bilingual review team on it without treating the French half as an add-on.
The local rules
Two courthouses,
two rulebooks.
Ottawa matters often straddle two systems. The Superior Court of Justice’s East Region sits at the Ottawa Courthouse on Elgin Street and runs on the Ontario rules — the Rule 29.1 discovery plan, the Form 30A affidavit of documents, Case Center in the courtroom.
A few blocks away, the Federal Court — whose principal registry office is here on Sparks Street — runs a different regime under the Federal Courts Rules: an affidavit of documents due 30 days after the close of pleadings (Rule 223), a narrower relevance standard built on reliance and adverse effect (Rule 222), and, since 2023, a notice requiring parties to declare AI-generated content in filed documents. We run discovery under both, sometimes for the same client in the same month.

What we do
The hard parts,
handled.
Our services do not start at loading documents and do not end at producing them. For litigation teams in Ottawa, 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
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.
See the full menu of services, the review platforms we host in Canada, or how a migration to Nuix Discover runs. Whatever slice you take, the strategy stays yours.
Managed review
Document review support in Ottawa.
Supporting a review in Ottawa 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 you support Federal Court matters?
Yes. The Federal Courts Rules run their own documentary discovery — an affidavit of documents within 30 days of the close of pleadings, relevance defined by reliance and adverse effect, and the Court’s notice on declaring AI-generated content in filings. We build productions and affidavit schedules to that regime, and to Ontario’s, from the same hosted set.
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.
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.
