Company History

NoticeConnect is a web platform for publishing and accessing legal notices online. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in downtown Toronto, NoticeConnect effectively and affordably connects public legal notices with their intended audiences. The platform is trusted by lawyers, trustees, banks, and government. In 2017, the Superior Court confirmed that publishing a notice to creditors on NoticeConnect entitles an estate trustee to the liability protection afforded the Trustee Act. Since then, the company has expanded into additional types of legal notices, offers a suite of creditor products, and providing custom solutions for governments.
