Subpoena-response indexing with offshore legal support
Track subpoena requests, custodians, collected files, and review states while counsel controls objections, scope, and final response.
Defined workflowAttorney review gatesPractical escalation
Record the request exactly
Capture issuing authority, recipient, service date, reference number, request text, response owner, and source location. Preserve the served version and any later amendment separately.
Track collection without deciding scope
List custodians, search sources, collected batches, missing items, and review status from firm-approved instructions. A support worker should not narrow a request, decide relevance, or choose an objection.
Keep release with counsel
Counsel approves the response set, privilege treatment, redactions, representations, and delivery. The support record should make every source, exception, and instruction easy to verify.
