Have any of you been asked by client's inside counsel to change their file retention period? Instead of our normal seven or permanent retention, they're requesting we change theirs to three years. This client has over 3200 matters on the system with multiple attorneys working various practices, of which several are in our permanent retention category. Our firm requires all originals must be returned to the client at the close of the matter, so wouldn't the change in retention be on the client and not the firm? Your views/comments are appreciated.

"Just in case" is not a reason to retain records
