Company History
NoticeConnect is an online platform for publishing and accessing legal notices online. NoticeConnect is owned by Lex Cortex Ltd, a law and technology company located in Toronto, Ontario. The company was founded in 2014 to improve the practice of law, designing products based on extensive input and feedback from the legal profession and consumers. Lex Cortex launched NoticeConnect in June 2015. In July 2016, the corporation joined the Legal Innovation Zone in downtown Toronto and was a finalist in the first Ontario Access to Justice Challenge. In July 2017, the Superior Court of Justice in Ontario confirmed in a written decision that publishing a notice to creditors on NoticeConnect entitled an estate trustee to the liability protection afforded by s. 53 of the Trustee Act.
