What is Reveal Legal Hold
Reveal Legal Hold is a legal hold and preservation application used to manage litigation holds, custodian communications, acknowledgements, and defensible tracking of preservation activities. It is typically used by corporate legal teams and eDiscovery professionals to issue holds, monitor compliance, and maintain an auditable record for discovery readiness. The product focuses on workflow for hold notices, reminders, escalations, and reporting, and is positioned as part of Reveal’s broader eDiscovery technology portfolio.
Purpose-built legal hold workflows
The product centers on issuing legal hold notices, collecting acknowledgements, and tracking compliance over time. It supports recurring reminders and escalation paths to help legal teams manage non-responsive custodians. It maintains a structured record of hold activity that can be used to demonstrate process and timing.
Auditability and reporting focus
Reveal Legal Hold emphasizes reporting on hold status, custodian responses, and key dates. This helps legal operations teams monitor progress across multiple matters and identify gaps. Centralized reporting can reduce reliance on spreadsheets and email threads for hold tracking.
Alignment with eDiscovery operations
As part of an eDiscovery vendor’s product suite, it fits common eDiscovery team workflows and terminology. This can simplify handoffs from hold initiation to downstream collection and review processes when used within the same vendor ecosystem. It is designed for legal and eDiscovery stakeholders rather than general IT ticketing workflows.
Not a full eDiscovery platform
Legal hold software addresses preservation governance but does not replace collection, processing, review, and production capabilities. Organizations typically still need separate tools or services for data collection and review workflows. Buyers evaluating end-to-end eDiscovery should confirm what is included versus what requires additional products.
Integration details vary by source
Legal hold programs often depend on integrations with identity systems, email, collaboration platforms, and HR data for custodian management. Publicly verifiable details on specific out-of-the-box connectors and supported data sources can be limited without vendor documentation. Implementation effort may vary depending on the organization’s systems and data landscape.
Best fit for formal programs
The product is most useful when an organization runs a structured legal hold program with defined roles, escalation rules, and reporting needs. Smaller teams with infrequent matters may find the administrative setup heavier than lightweight tracking methods. Change management is often required to drive custodian participation and consistent acknowledgements.
