I have just read this article, “Lawyers try to catch up in tech world” In my experience of helping law firms over the past 5 years I have seen only a small handful of firms at the cutting edge when it comes to email compliance and archiving. These firms are no longer printing out emails and sticking them into the client files, as they have now implemented an email archiving system. As witnessed in the court room, lawyers are now questioning the credibility of emails submitted as evidence as part of a legal case which can only be achieved by storing the forensic version, including the header information with the original email. As we all know, when you print out an email and/or delete an email the header information is lost, therefore the evidential quality is lost. As we are witnessing everyday emails are being relied upon as critical evidence as part of court proceedings. At Cryoserver we have a tool that can help law firms build an evidential repository which cannot be tampered and can be trusted come a legal case. Today I am aware of a handful of law firms who are successfully using Cryoserver to aid them in providing evidence as part of multi million pound legal cases. Lets hope more law firms ditch the quill pens and steno pads...
