Records Management

Haynes and Boone’s Litigation Records Management practice guides clients in all aspects of compliance, risk minimization and litigation holds. Well crafted records management policies are designed to protect corporate assets, minimize risk, facilitate litigation records preservation and retrieval and reduce costs associated with records storage.

We advise clients on the establishment of records retention policies designed to comply with applicable statutes, regulations and standards in the U.S. and throughout the world, including programs for plan implementation, compliance and updates. We also advise clients on legal issues related to records management systems and the development and implementation of litigation records hold policies designed to address state and federal court obligations in the event of litigation or governmental investigations.

Our expertise includes advising clients on post-litigation issues, including how to handle documents that were subject to a litigation hold protocol. Our attorneys and professionals (including Information Technology professionals) have developed records management policies for Fortune 50 companies as well as smaller corporations and have revised and updated policies and procedures designed to focus on best practices and developments in electronic data and information systems.
