Litigation Hold

Litigation Hold:

An ever-increasing requirement upon the corporate legal department is to provide the organization with a robust and effective Litigation Hold capability.

The Advocator System® enables this process to be managed and controlled in a streamlined, consistent and measureable fashion, able to support internal audit or the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley and/or other legal and regulatory/fiduciary obligations.

Workflow Process:

The simple workflow diagram below depicts the typical Litigation Hold process within the Advocator System®.



The system can include client-designed, pre-formatted litigation hold, reminder and lift notices which will be emailed automatically to pre-defined recipients.

Reminders can also be sent automatically at specified, date-driven intervals and the lift notice may be configured to act as a "tickler" to relevant legal staff.

Configuration/Toggleability:

The format and content of the emails, is entirely at the client’s discretion.

Historical details of the settings, the person who set them, and the date they were created and/or adjusted, can be viewed at any time. Copies may be downloaded electronically or printed off.
