Litigation Hold

A litigation hold is a legal process that requires an organization to preserve all relevant documents and electronic information when a legal dispute is anticipated or underway. This means that the company must retain emails, files, and other data that might be important for the case. The goal is to ensure that evidence is not destroyed or lost while the legal matter is being resolved. Failure to implement a litigation hold can lead to legal penalties, as it could be seen as tampering with or withholding evidence relevant to the case.
