Why Most Legal Hold Workflows Fail?
Manual legal hold workflows lead to catastrophic failures. Here’s what goes wrong:
Missed Custodians
Email blasts lose track of recipients. Critical witnesses fall through the cracks, creating compliance exposure.

No audit trail. No proof of issuance. When opposing counsel questions your hold, you scramble to defend.
