Identify documents subject to legal holds based on keywords, dates, parties involved, and litigation context. Flag records requiring preservation.
Calculate retention periods based on document type and regulatory requirements. Track expiration dates and flag records ready for disposition.
Flag potentially privileged communications (attorney-client, work product, attorney-expert) requiring redaction or segregation from discovery.
Generate audit logs recording document handling, classification decisions, and custody transfers with timestamps and responsible parties.
Verify records meet discovery standards, check for metadata completeness, and generate readiness reports before production to opposing counsel.
