Disposing of Eight Million Documents and Records

Trailblazer 2


With more than 500 lawyers, this Global 120 / Am Law 100 firm needed a modern solution to govern documents in file shares and their DMS around the world, and physical records.
  • This firm’s journey began as they implemented FileTrail Records Management to replace a legacy solution and FileTrail Governance to govern electronic documents.
  • The need to govern documents had grown dramatically over the five years between 2017–2021, as the firm grew revenue by 34% with only 5% growth in headcount. At the same time, their legacy physical records management system had lost support – after having no modernization for nearly a decade.
  • The firm has made great advances on the trail by disposing of electronic documents and destroying physical records. All the related change in policies and practices were happening during significant growth of the firm.
