eDiscovery
in Vancouver.
Vancouver files carry west-coast volume on BC’s narrow-scope rules. We collect defensibly, review at speed, and build productions that satisfy Form 22 and whatever protocol the parties negotiate.

Support for the
Vancouver docket.
Vancouver is where most of British Columbia’s heavy commercial litigation lives, and the Supreme Court and Court of Appeal both sit at the Law Courts on Smithe Street. The matters that start here — corporate disputes, securities, construction, insolvency — arrive with modern evidence: cloud tenancies, chat platforms, phones, and the occasional warehouse of paper.
We give Vancouver teams the whole pipeline or any slice of it: preservation and collection, processing into one deduplicated set, hosted review with Claira carrying the first pass, and productions in the format the exchange protocol demands. Three time zones away changes nothing; the platform is the office.
The local rules
The rules, as they run
in Vancouver.
BC Supreme Court matters in Vancouver run on the Supreme Court Civil Rules: a Form 22 list of documents within 35 days of the end of the pleading period, scoped by default to documents that could prove or disprove a material fact, with the broader relating-to-the-case disclosure available on a Rule 7-1(11) demand or a court order.
The court’s Practice Direction re Electronic Evidence supplies a default exchange framework, and the sophisticated end of the Vancouver bar routinely improves on it by agreement — load-file specs, metadata fields, deduplication and threading conventions. We draft, negotiate and then actually implement those protocols.

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 Vancouver, 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.
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 Vancouver.
Supporting a review in Vancouver 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.
Do you work in Vancouver’s time zone?
Yes — coverage follows the matter, not the clock in Ottawa. Scoping calls, review-team stand-ups and production deadlines all run on Pacific time when your file does, and the hosted platform is available around the clock either way.
Do you have people in Vancouver?
Our team works from Ottawa and Montréal, and matters in Vancouver 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 does our data live?
In Canada. Review runs on Canadian-hosted infrastructure certified to ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II, and your documents stay here through processing, hosting, review and production.
