The legal department at your organization is working on a time-critical merger and acquisition (M&A)...

Instruct the IT department to directly access and forward the relevant emails to the legal department.

Temporarily grant the legal department access to the employee’s email account with a restricted scope that is limited to the M&A-related emails.

Ask a colleague with delegate access to the employee's mailbox to identify and forward the relevant emails to the legal department.

Use Google Vault to create a matter specific to the M&A deal. Search for relevant emails within the employee's mailbox. Export and share relevant emails with your legal department.
