Frequently Asked Questions
What is a legal hold?
A legal hold is a process used to preserve information that may be relevant to pending or reasonably anticipated litigation. It typically includes notifying people responsible for that information, communicating preservation instructions, and documenting notices and follow-up. Relevant information may include emails, messages, documents, and other records.
What does legal hold management software do?
Legal hold management software helps legal teams create and distribute notices, track custodian acknowledgments, collect questionnaire responses, automate reminders, and manage releases. It centralizes hold activity and reporting so teams can monitor outstanding obligations and maintain a documented process without relying on spreadsheets and individual inboxes.
How does Onit Legal Holds track custodian acknowledgments?
Onit Legal Holds keeps custodian acknowledgment status and questionnaire responses with the hold record. Legal teams can see who has responded, identify outstanding actions, and configure reminders and escalations for non-responses. Custodians have a dashboard where they can review notices, complete questionnaires, and acknowledge holds without searching through email.
Can Onit Legal Holds standardize workflows for different types of matters?
Yes. Onit Legal Holds uses reusable templates and Legal Hold Types to standardize processes for different matter categories, such as litigation, employment disputes, and patent matters. Teams can configure default notices, questionnaires, reminder schedules, escalation rules, approval requirements, and reissue preferences while allowing appropriate customization.
How does Onit Legal Holds connect with Unity ELM matter management?
