Case Study: Vestas Wind Systems achieves automated, defensible legal holds and streamlined e-discovery with Exterro
A Exterro Case Study
A Renewable Energy Leader Gets Ahead of the E-Discovery Curve
Vestas, the Denmark-based global leader in wind energy, faced a new legal challenge when stricter U.S. e-discovery rules and rising judicial scrutiny made their manual legal-hold practices (email and spreadsheets) inadequate. Concerned about future exposure, the company’s legal team—led by VP/General Counsel Jay Nusbaum and paralegal Beth King—sought a more defensible, scalable approach to preserve and track potentially relevant data across a large, decentralized workforce.
Vestas implemented Exterro’s Legal Hold solution and rolled out focused employee training. Automation (templates, auto-populated notices, reminders) and embedded interviews to identify custodians and data locations sped hold creation, reduced errors, and improved acknowledgement and engagement rates. The result was a repeatable, defensible process that simplified administration and scaled smoothly with an upgrade to Exterro Legal Hold 5.0.
