under today’s e-discovery standards by providing support
for IT Data Maps, to inventory and assess all sources of electronically
stored information. We focus on assisting clients in preparing
a comprehensive data inventory tracking all sources of electronically

E-Discovery Risk Assessments and Preparedness
Planning
AGC provides data retention planning & IT-based compliance solutions
for “litigation readiness.” Our unique legal and technical
expertise allows us to help our clients achieve litigation readiness
through the evaluation, design, and implementation of legally defensible

for data retention and litigation hold processing helps our clients
ensure that they can meet ongoing e-discovery obligations efficiently
and cost-effectively. AGC provides litigation hold program design,
implementation and testing, along with corporate records management
services including retention schedules, policy and procedure development,
and data retention and compliance audits.
Our features services include the development of policies that address
the new federal rules for e-discovery and implementation of legally-defensible
litigation hold programs. These core service offerings allow clients
to react quickly and responsibly in the event of litigation or government
investigation.
Compliance Audits
Data management and retention audits identify and manage high risk
practices and noncompliance with internal policies. Once a corporate
e-discovery response plan is in place, ongoing review and monitoring
provides a structured way to create and support the routine operation
of an information management system and ensure corporate compliance.
Defensible programs must be routinely monitored updated to address
new legal standards.
