Things to think about:

  • Can you defend the effectiveness of your legal hold process?
  • If personal archives are requested, do you have a process to enable production?
  • For every Send, there is a Receive & what might opposing counsel have that you are not aware of?
  • Are you capable of determining if you should settle before having invested too much time?
  • Does your current setup provide the tools for effective legal strategy planning?
