Case Study: Howard Kennedy achieves secure, versatile COPE mobility and increased productivity with BlackBerry UEM

With BlackBerry UEM, This Major UK Law Firm Stays Ahead in a Connected World

Howard Kennedy LLP is a 300‑person UK law firm that needed to replace aging devices and roll out a Corporate‑Owned, Personally‑Enabled (COPE) model so lawyers could use a single phone for work and personal use without risking sensitive data. After assessing requirements and consulting the partnership, the firm engaged BlackBerry partner Appurity and chose BlackBerry UEM together with Android Enterprise to provide strong endpoint control and secure access to internal systems.

Using BlackBerry UEM and Android Enterprise — plus BlackBerry Secure Connect Plus and Appurity’s Rubus Connector — Howard Kennedy separated business and personal data, connected external devices to internal resources without opening firewall holes, and simplified app distribution via Managed Google Play. The deployment delivered full device control, zero downtime since go‑live, broader app availability, improved efficiency and user satisfaction, and a straightforward backend that’s easy to manage and adapt.
