Yeah, I'd be super careful with any advice from a lawyer that told you you can store _all_ data because of potential future litigation after your customer has ended the relationship and asked for deletion. I'm pretty sure it would explode in your face in a comically large way where you're not only going to lose the case, you're also going to be found to have been knowingly and willfully non-compliant.

"Judges hate this one weird trick" doesn't work, I'm afraid. Would love to hear which company follows that advise though :)
