Legal Archive Storage FAQs

  • As a law firm, how long do I need to keep business documents for?
    It depends. Limited companies are required to store business and financial documents for 6 years, whereas self-employed businesses have a 5 year requirement. If uncertain, our team will be able to help answer your firm specific questions.

  • Do my legal archives need to be kept in a certain way?
    Whilst there are no legal requirements on how legal documents are kept, it is best to store them in such a way that they are easily-accessible. ISO certification can demonstrate a company’s ability to archive safely and effectively.

  • How will my staff search for and find the documents they need?
    Depending on the size of your firm, it may be worth considering an online document management system. FileLive allows users to securely manage physical, electronic or scanned documentation that is stored offsite at one of our professional archive facilities.
