Practical IG

Company Introduction

Practical IG provides expert information governance services to help law firms and corporate law departments navigate the complex world of IG. Our flagship offering, PIG in a Box, delivers foundational IG solutions for small and midsize law firms looking to develop or advance their IG program. This enables firms to start making real progress without the need for large budgets or full-time staff. Created from decades of legal experience, Practical IG provides clarity and structure without extensive overhead.

Legal-Focused Offerings

Law firms recognize the need for Information Governance, but many lack the time, internal expertise, or bandwidth to build a program from scratch. That’s where Practical IG comes in. Our fixed-price PIG in a Box foundational program delivers everything a small or midsize firm needs to launch a practical, audit-ready IG program, without hiring full-time staff or getting stuck in endless planning cycles.

Each engagement includes:

  • A 90-minute IG IQ Workshop with practical roadmap, high-impact recommendations, and an executive-level presentation
  • A tailored IG policy and IG program charter
  • A retention schedule starter kit
  • Monthly advisory/Q&A sessions
  • Program advancement and reporting
  • Audit and compliance support

For firms with additional needs, our Outside the Box Activities extend the program with:

  • Customized content placement planning (DMS, File Shares, Outlook, OneDrive, Teams, SharePoint)
  • Microsoft 365 IG Playbook development
  • ROT (Redundant, Outdated, Trivial) content identification and defensible deletion planning
  • Onboarding and offboarding process recommendations tailored for IG
  • Evaluation and selection support for file analytics or classification solutions
  • AI readiness and implementation assistance

Whether you're just getting started or formalizing governance after years of growth, PIG in a Box gives your firm the structure, clarity, and support needed to move from “we should” to “we did.”

Fun Fact: Yes, the pig has wings. And no, it’s not just a cute mascot. It’s a symbol of what most firms think is impossible: launching a real IG program quickly, affordably, and without internal chaos. With PIG in a Box, it turns out pigs can fly.
