For today’s modern law firm, implementing and following an efficient yet compliant process for managing both client- based and internally-driven legal holds is no easy task.

Traditional approaches are either too simplistic and hard to defend in court — like a simple email notification system — or too complex, intrusive and hard to roll out — like network intensive search-driven crawlers.

Courts have delivered a clear message that firms require a well thought-through and rigorously-followed process for notifying, preserving, collecting, and monitoring potentially relevant electronically stored information (ESI). Defensibility issues of chain of custody, over- or under- collection, false hits, and non-digital assets, must be addressed while satisfying firm concerns of minimal intrusion in conducting everyday business.

Firms require a system that strikes the balance – one that is easy to deploy, readily accepted by all firm personnel, and maintains the highest level of defensibility for the firm.

• compliguard hold is designed to manage the end-to-end legal hold process, easily addressing each firm’s specific and often complex requirements for preserving potentially relevant information within the firms.
• compliguard hold provides firms with a comprehensive and centralized approach for managing a preservation hold, delivering simplicity to the notification and interview process
• compliguard hold goes beyond simple email notification- based solutions, and yet avoids a burdensome and invasive network-crawler system prone to false hits and performance lags, delivering the perfect balance.
