Legal Information Governance Best Practices to Overcome Data Challenges

NYC area expert argues that legal information governance overcomes data challenges unique to law firms, such as large amounts of client data—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J., July 19, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and information governance expert, explains how legal information governance helps to overcome law firm data challenges in a new article. The informative article first asserts that law firms deal with several challenges unique to the legal profession, including managing vast amounts of client data, and industry regulations.

The author then offers several best practices, including building a data map to gain visibility into critical data and updating retention policies to meet regulatory requirements. In addition, he encourages readers to regularly audit and strengthen data security and to implement an effective eDiscovery solution.

"Effective legal information governance drives productivity, improves case outcomes, and strengthens both regulatory compliance and client relations," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.

Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Legal Information Governance Best Practices to Overcome Data Challenges."

"Law firms deal with several challenges unique to the legal profession. In the first place, they work with significant amounts of highly sensitive information from a broad range of clients and cases. Managing the storage, distribution and destruction of that data requires close attention to numerous regulations."

Build and Maintain a Data Map

"Using the right technology will streamline the process. For instance, AI-enabled data discovery and mapping software scans and catalogs data across the firm's network and cloud environments. These tools can automate metadata management and data classification, helping firms monitor and manage their data assets more effectively."

Update Retention Policies to Meet Regulatory Requirements

"A growing number of privacy laws and industry-specific regulations govern how law firms store, manage, and retain or destroy information. OCGs and client expectations add to the complexity. Thus, retention requirements may vary according to the type, source and purpose of the data, the jurisdiction or industry involved, and client contracts."

Implement an Effective eDiscovery Solution

"The best eDiscovery tools optimize the process with powerful search features that run complex searches across multiple platforms in seconds rather than hours. They help the team identify and review relevant data before collection, reducing the amount of data to hold and process. And they reduce the risk of sanctions while maintaining a constant chain of custody."
