This whitepaper paper discusses various aspects of a litigation hold: (1) when the duty to preserve attaches, (2) determining who to include and how to include them, (3) enforcing the litigation hold, (4) the litigation hold letter, and (5) releasing the litigation hold.

Once a party reasonably anticipates litigation, the party has a duty to preserve information relevant to that litigation. A litigation hold satisfies that duty. A litigation hold suspends current document destruction policies, and informs certain persons that they must preserve relevant information.
