Information Management for the Legal Sector
In the legal sector, information is everything, and success depends on a firm’s ability to properly access, manage, and leverage that information.
What is information management?
Information management covers the ways in which an organisation stores, accesses, transforms, leverages, and protects their information.
This includes a wide range of practices such as:
- Records Management: Secure storage of physical records in an offsite facility.
- Document Digitisation: Converting physical documents into indexed digital formats.
- Secure Backup: Protecting data and systems with comprehensive backups.
- Document Destruction: Secure shredding of physical documents.
- IT Asset Disposal: Secure disposition of computers, data bearing hardware, and eWaste.
Why is information management important in the legal sector?
Law firms and legal organisations deal with massive amounts of information every day. There is a strong requirement for this information to be accessible, organised, and most importantly, secure.
The New Zealand Law Society states that “a lawyer must hold all information about the affairs of clients in confidence indefinitely. This requirement is subject to limited exceptions, which are provided for in the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008 (RCCC).”
Such organisations are also legally required to comply with information management governance practices, with clear policies surrounding the following:
- Collection of information
- Disclosure of information
- Dealing with requests for information
- Storage, security, retention, and disposal of information
With a reliable information management partner, law firms can outsource these requirements to experts such as TIMG in order to focus on the work that matters.
