Why Chain of Custody Matters for Legal Documents

Why Chain of Custody Matters for Legal Documents

In legal proceedings, the chain of custody establishes who had possession of a document at every point in time. If a contract is altered between your office and the signing party, chain of custody determines where the alteration occurred. If court filings are late, chain of custody proves when they left your office and when they arrived at the courthouse. If evidence materials are challenged, chain of custody establishes they were not tampered with during transport.

For law firms in the Financial District, Midtown, and Downtown Brooklyn, every outgoing document is potentially discoverable. Using a courier service that documents chain of custody protects your firm and your clients. Xentra Transport legal courier service provides chain-of-custody documentation on every legal delivery automatically.
