What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the operational risk of mismanaging legal preservation obligations by helping attorneys issue, periodically refresh, and properly release litigation holds with auditable tracking.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Legal hold lifecycle drafting: Drafts hold notices for the phases of issuing, refreshing (reaffirmation), releasing, and reporting status.
- Matter-aware workflow: Loads matter context and house style from the configured litigation-legal workspace and produces drafts tailored to scope, custodians, systems, and timing.
- Audit trail updates: Updates legal_hold fields in _log.yaml and appends history entries to history.md, including next_refresh scheduling and custodian departure flags.
- Portfolio status reporting: Generates portfolio-wide hold status when requested, including overdue and attention items.
Quick Start
Run legal-hold with an issue flag for your matter slug to draft the hold notice and update the hold tracking log for attorney review.
