Listicle: Custodian Interview Questions for Legal Holds and Discovery

Legal Hold

By the time the threat of litigation occurs, it's often too late to create a defensible process from scratch, leaving you vulnerable to serious consequences.

That’s why DISCO created the process-mapping Legal Hold Playbook and this custodian interview question list – to help you prepare by thinking in advance through how to issue legal holds and what questions to ask potentially relevant custodians.

‍

With this checklist, you’ll be able to:

- Know where your data is. Ask the right questions to target what devices or systems may contain potentially relevant information, and those that don't.

- Ask the right questions the first time. Save hours of back-and-forth with custodians by collecting all the necessary details in one streamlined interview.

- Strengthen defensibility. Include language that documents your process and protects against legal challenges.

- Modernize your preservation process. Account for today’s cloud storage, collaboration tools, and messaging platforms that traditional questionnaires miss.

‍

This resource is essential for:

- In-house counsel, litigation support teams and ediscovery managers

- Outside counsel conducting custodian interviews

- Any team member responsible for ensuring compliance with preservation obligations

‍
