About Probantus

How our process works

From first call to signed retainer, Probantus is structured to be quick, confidential, and aligned with the realities of litigation timelines in Canada.

3-step, no-charge matching process for counsel
Step 1

Confidential intake & free advice

You share matter details, timelines, and the role you need filled. We help you refine the expert profile, keeping everything strictly confidential.

No obligation — we only introduce candidates if there is a fit.
Step 2

Tailored, conflict-checked shortlist

We identify Canadian academics whose research and experience align with your issues, verify availability, and screen for potential conflicts of interest.

You receive a curated list, not a directory dump.
Step 3

Ongoing coordination & support

We assist with introductions, scheduling, and expectations, and remain available as a neutral facilitator as the matter evolves.

Our role is to support counsel and preserve expert independence.
