Media Statement

October 31, 2018

On Monday October 29, 2018, our managing partner, Jason Boudrot, reported to the Nova
Scotia Barristers Society (NSBS) that he had misappropriated money from trust funds belonging
to clients of our firm. Such a violation is among the most serious a lawyer can commit. Mr.
Boudrot has been removed from our firm. The NSBS has suspended Mr. Boudrot’s license to
practice pending a thorough investigation and forensic audit.

In cooperation with the NSBS, our lawyers and staff have been diligently and thoroughly
reviewing our operations to understand the full scope of the issue, and ensure that any missing
funds are replaced forthwith. Our primary focus is protecting the interests of our clients. We
are committed to making whole any affected client.

Our lawyers and staff have begun the process of contacting our clients individually to inform
them of the steps involved in transitioning their matters, and want to encourage any clients to
reach out to us if they have not yet been contacted directly.

We are fully cooperating with the Nova Scotia Barrister’s Society as they investigate this matter,
and will cooperate with the NSBS Complaints Investigation Committee as they investigate Mr.
Boudrot’s conduct.

Through hard work and determination, our firm of 10 lawyers has been built into a unique,
modern, and vibrant full service operation with locations throughout eastern Nova Scotia, and
Halifax. With our great team, we are determined to build on this foundation by serving our
clients with excellence and distinction.
