Relativity Legal Hold helps organizations identify and preserve data relevant to anticipated litigation. It can send hold notices, interview custodians, follow up automatically with people who have not responded, and track replies. Reports record communications with custodians and other relevant parties. Legal Hold preserves data in place from major productivity platforms in a secure Azure environment; named integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Vault, and Slack. A setup wizard helps users choose custodians and data sources, while real-time updates and error alerts provide information about preservation workflows. Relativity says analytics and scoping criteria can reduce data volumes by up to 80%. Preserved information can be transferred to RelativityOne for review through Collect as a case or investigation progresses. Legal Hold is installed in one or more Relativity workspaces. Full use requires installing the application and configuring access, email, the custodian portal, and preservation settings. Its API can retrieve active custodian details, with up to 1,000 records per request. Relativity says it provides 24-hour technical assistance. Pricing is on request, and Legal Hold is licensed separately from the data volume commitment.
