Legal Holds provide the foundation for all eDiscovery activity. Managing and administrating them is critical to reducing risk to the law firm and its clients during litigation or regulatory investigation. Law firms and corporations are well-advised to have a capable Legal Hold Administrator on staff to ensure their legal hold & eDiscovery programs perform as needed.
With thanks to Logikcull for their recent post on important eDiscovery cases of 2018 which I reference here, legal holds are in the spotlight…again.

Based on the articles, blog posts and general buzz in the IT, security, and Information Governance world, it would appear the big interest topic to close out the year may center on Artificial Intelligence, or AI. Holiday shopping lists are likely to be cluttered with the latest in-home gadgets, from ‘smart’ refrigerators, TVs, climate control, lighting and […]
While the political arena in particular has provided plenty of entertainment and demands on our attention over the past weeks and months, life has gone on in other areas. E-Discovery activities continue, and firms, clients and corporations continue to adjust to the updated Federal Rules. Rule 26(a) seems to have evolved into star status, perhaps […]
