Industrial evidence,
made reviewable.
Saint John is New Brunswick’s industrial anchor — home to Irving Oil and Canada’s largest refinery, a working port, and the construction, energy and commercial disputes that follow heavy industry. The files mix engineering records, operational data and email in ways that punish a naive collection.
We scope those collections properly: what belongs in review, what gets catalogued, what stays where it is with its integrity documented. Then processing, hosted review with an AI first pass, and productions built to the agreed format — senior-led throughout, with no minimums.
The local rules
The rules, at
Peel Plaza.
Civil matters for the Saint John Judicial District run at the Saint John Law Courts on Peel Plaza under the Rules of Court: disclosure of every document relating to a matter in issue (Rule 31.02), electronic records expressly included, with the Form 31B affidavit of documents due ten days after a Form 31A notice demands it.
On industrial files that ten-day window is only survivable if the mapping is done in advance — which systems hold what, who the custodians are, what a proportionate collection looks like. We build that map early, so the affidavit is a summary of work completed rather than a promise of work to come.

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 Saint John, 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.

Managed review
Document review support in Saint John.
Supporting a review in Saint John 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
The usual
questions.
Can you handle operational and engineering data?
Yes. Maintenance systems, project archives, CAD files and historian data need honest treatment: some of it is reviewed, some catalogued and preserved in place, and all of it described accurately in the affidavit of documents. We make those calls with your team and record the reasons.
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 Saint John?
Our team works from Ottawa and Montréal, and matters in Saint John 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.
