The potential risks stemming from the inadvertent destruction of documents —electronic or otherwise— have never been more severe. Now, more than ever, corporations have a responsibility to manage documents so that they are not destroyed, discarded, or changed. With that in mind, a growing number of companies have instituted strict legal hold policies for the long-term handling of corporate data.
Professionals at Kiersted can help you identify, evaluate, and implement third-party solutions for the comprehensive management and automation of the legal hold process. Simply stated, we can take your legal hold policy and apply the appropriate technology in order to make it internally trackable and externally enforceable.
Our partnerships with leading solution providers enable us to hit the ground running to meet your legal hold requirements. Of course, the issues involved often go well beyond legal hold to encompass the identification of custodians, the collection of documents, and the overall review of legal materials. To address those issues, Kiersted is able to draw on our deep experience in the broader area of discovery management, of which legal hold is a major piece.
