Legal

In the legal industry, records storage and management of both paper and electronic records continues to be an important challenge that must be carefully managed. You've invested extensively in your files, filing resources, and systems. But sooner or later, you'll reach capacity. How can you properly and efficiently manage those growing volumes of records and balance the trade-off between soaring real-estate costs and the need for rapid accessibility? Coast has the solutions for your legal records management needs.

Records Storage and Management

• Electronic Records Storage - Coast can index and store your electronic documents such as CM/ECF files, e-discovery, e-mails, billing statements or scanned paper documents in our secure and confidential data center.  Coast's highly efficient image technology lets you preview thumbnails, zoom in/out, rotate, print, or forward the image. Your archived images remain available according to your retention schedule.
• Rapid, Accurate Retrieval and Refiling - We can set up our storage to mirror your own filing systems, making it easy to use our services.
