Legal Industry ITAD & Data Destruction
Protect attorney-client privilege with certified data destruction and documented chain of custody for retired IT equipment.
Attorney-Client Privilege Extends to Your Hard Drives
Law firms are custodians of their clients' most sensitive information — case strategies, contracts, financial records, medical records, trade secrets, and personal communications. The Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct require attorneys to take reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to client information, and that obligation doesn't end when you retire a laptop or server.
Houston's legal market is one of the largest in the nation, with major firms concentrated downtown, in the Galleria area, and in the Energy Corridor. Whether you're a solo practitioner, mid-size firm, or AmLaw 200 office, improper disposal of data-bearing devices creates malpractice exposure and potential bar disciplinary action.
EverTrade provides the documented chain of custody and certified data destruction that law firms need to demonstrate their duty of care — with free pickup across Greater Houston.
