Litera and filerskeepers Bridge the Gap Between Global Retention Requirements and Records Governance

CHICAGO and AMSTERDAM - Nov. 5, 2026 - Litera, the legal AI platform provider that best unifies the practice and business of law, announced a partnership with filerskeepers, a provider of global data retention intelligence and services, to help organizations bridge the gap between legal retention requirements and records management through FileTrail, its information governance solution. The partnership connects two critical layers of information governance - understanding legal retention requirements across jurisdictions and executing those requirements across systems.

"Retention policies are only as strong as their implementation," said Nick Burge, Senior Product Manager at Litera. "This partnership ensures organizations can move from understanding the law to applying it consistently across their data."

filerskeepers maintains a continuously updated database of global retention laws, enabling organizations to determine what data to retain, for how long, and under which legal basis. FileTrail puts those schedules to work by automating retention and disposition workflows across physical and digital repositories, ensuring policies are consistently applied and fully auditable. Together, they provide a unified approach to defensible information governance.

"Companies shouldn't have to interpret global retention laws on their own," said Wanne Pemmelaar, CEO and co-founder of filerskeepers. "We provide the legal clarity. FileTrail ensures that clarity is enforced."

Retention and disposition programs that stop at the DMS leave content in SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams, and file shares ungoverned. That is a growing risk as firms generate more work product outside traditional document management systems. Litera also announced the availability of its Microsoft 365 SharePoint Connector for FileTrail, which closes that gap by extending centralized governance into Microsoft environments. Organizations can apply retention policies directly to SharePoint content using FileTrail's native disposition workflow alongside existing DMS and physical records, with centralized audit trails and compliance reporting across repositories.

Litera will also host a live webinar on Wednesday, November 11 at 2:00 PM AEDT/11:00 AM SGT for APAC legal and records teams, "When Holding On Becomes the Liability: Why Retention Policies Must Become Defensible Action," covering privacy obligations across Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and New Zealand and how FileTrail helps organizations move from policy to defensible disposition. The session features Derek Erickson, Product Value Engineer, and Zach Tabram, Account Executive, at Litera. To register, visit info.litera.com/filetrail-webinar.html
