Security is a<br />
Fragile Thing<br />
Emailing legal documents<br />

Neither is a USB key, CD,<br />
or consumer file sharing.<br />
xchangedocs is a secure portal for exchanging<br />
documents between opposing parties, clients,<br />
experts, process servers, and others through<br />
a platform located safely in Canada.<br />
It’s less costly than a courier, handles any<br />
file size, and provides a full audit trail.<br />

at the time of writing this article, here are some of the relevant things<br />
for counsel to consider when practising in the areas described herein.<br />
