Legal Hold Software for Defensible Record Preservation

Defensible preservation for legal, compliance, and investigations teams

When litigation, regulatory scrutiny, internal investigations, or employment disputes arise, organizations need to preserve records quickly and defensibly. Lexkeep Legal Hold helps teams preserve documents, communications, and related records in a secure, audit-ready environment designed to support traceability, controlled access, and long-term trust in the record.

Instead of relying on scattered folders, email notices, spreadsheets, and manual tracking, Lexkeep gives teams a more reliable way to preserve and manage held records by matter.

Built for organizations that need stronger legal hold workflows in financial services, insurance, healthcare, energy, and other regulated industries.

Why legal hold matters

A legal hold is not just an administrative step. It is a preservation obligation. When an organization reasonably anticipates litigation, investigation, or regulatory review, it may need to preserve potentially relevant records and prevent deletion, alteration, or loss.

That is difficult to do well when information is spread across systems and teams.

Lexkeep helps legal and compliance teams manage that challenge with a structured, matter-based preservation workflow that improves control and supports defensibility.

Why legal hold processes often break down

Many legal hold workflows are still handled with a mix of email, spreadsheets, shared drives, and disconnected storage systems. That can create risk at the exact moment better control is needed.

Common issues include:

• records spread across multiple systems
• inconsistent preservation practices
• weak visibility into what was placed on hold
• difficulty tracking access and handling history
• uncertainty about whether records changed after preservation
• fragmented audit trails
• poor chain of custody
• slow retrieval when records are needed for review or response

Lexkeep helps replace fragmented preservation practices with a more unified and verifiable approach.

A more unified approach to legal hold preservation

Lexkeep Legal Hold gives teams a secure, matter-based environment for preserving and managing records connected to litigation, investigations, employment issues, compliance reviews, or regulatory matters.

With Lexkeep, teams can:

• preserve records connected to a legal or compliance matter
• organize held material by matter, dispute, investigation, or regulatory issue
• maintain clear audit trails of preservation and record activity
• control who can access held records
• support chain of custody and traceability
• reduce the risk of accidental deletion or unauthorized changes
• retrieve preserved material more efficiently when needed

Lexkeep can also support stronger trust in preserved records through tamper-evident controls and verifiable integrity mechanisms, including environments where cryptographic proof and blockchain anchoring support record integrity.

Built for defensible preservation

Legal hold is not just about storing files. It is about preserving records in a way that can withstand scrutiny later.

Matter-based legal hold management

Organize preserved records around the specific case, claim, investigation, employment issue, or regulatory matter that triggered the hold. Keep relevant records together and easier to oversee.

Audit-ready preservation history

Track what was preserved, when it was preserved, who handled it, and what actions were taken over time. Maintain a stronger foundation for defensibility.

Controlled access to held records

Restrict access to legal, compliance, HR, investigations, or other authorized stakeholders. Reduce unnecessary handling and lower evidentiary risk.

Tamper-evident integrity protections

Help demonstrate that held records were not altered after preservation began. Strengthen trust in the record with verifiable integrity controls.

Long-term preservation support

Keep records secure and accessible for the duration of a litigation hold, internal investigation, regulatory inquiry, or retention need.
