In theory, issuing a legal hold is straightforward: draft the sternly-worded notice, hit send, and watch the receipts roll in. In practice, and without a well-defined process, it can be a quagmire of spreadsheets, flustered custodians, and accidentally-deleted email responses. Woof.
What do the most orderly legal departments do to ensure an efficient, low-risk hold with no surprises? Join Logikcull and Linsday Kolar, corporate paralegal at Gordon Food Services, as we examine the top 6 challenges associated with applying legal holds—and how to avoid common pitfalls.
