Comprehensive Litigation Hold

Legal hold is the riskiest and sometimes the most difficult part of a company’s records management program. Done properly, it will demonstrate early good faith and reasonable efforts to comply with your discovery obligations.

Proactive planning among corporate counsel, outside counsel, IT, and key stakeholders ensures good faith compliance in anticipation of litigation. NightOwl consultants will help implement a robust and defensible legal hold process, including the technology to support an automated litigation hold notification process across hundreds or even thousands of potential custodians.

A reasonable and good-faith plan provides counsel with the necessary leverage to negotiate a fair and reasonable scope of discovery and it allows counsel to stay focused on the merits of the case.
