How It Works

From trigger event to documented hold in four steps

Every action is captured against the hold, so you can show exactly who was notified, when, and how they responded.

  1. Step 1

    Create the hold

    Open a hold for the matter, describe what must be preserved and for what time period, and add the custodians who hold relevant information.

  2. Step 2

    Send hold notices

    Issue the preservation notice to every custodian at once. Each recipient gets clear instructions and a link to respond.

  3. Step 3

    Collect acknowledgments

    Custodians sign up with the email that received the notice and confirm the hold. You see at a glance who has responded and who has not.

  4. Step 4

    Interview recipients

    Ask custodians where relevant data lives — devices, mailboxes, shared drives, chat — and keep every answer with the hold record.

Who It's For

Built for any team with a duty to preserve

Anyone who signs up becomes a Legal Hold Administrator. Custodians who receive a notice sign up with that same email address, and their account connects to their holds automatically.

  • Corporate legal departments

    In-house teams that need a documented, repeatable preservation process without buying an enterprise platform.

  • Law firms

    Firms that issue holds on behalf of clients and want a clean record of notices, acknowledgments, and interviews.

  • Litigation support providers

    Service providers who manage preservation for multiple clients and need hold status before collection begins.

  • Public sector & nonprofits

    Organizations with records obligations and limited budgets that still need to show reasonable preservation efforts.
