Case Study: Lawyers Without Borders achieves absolute document security in high-risk environments with IntraLinks

Intralinks.org Going Beyond Boundaries

Lawyers Without Borders (LWOB) is an international non-profit that deploys volunteer lawyers to build legal frameworks in conflict-affected regions to combat human trafficking, terrorism and other human-rights abuses. Operating across multiple countries with hundreds of volunteers and support from major law firms, LWOB needed absolute, easy-to-use document security because traditional methods like email, FTP and even a compromised SharePoint site put staff and partners at risk.

LWOB adopted Intralinks for secure file sharing and collaboration, leveraging its information rights management, lifetime content control, mobile access and real-time versioning. The platform gave LWOB granular permission controls, the ability to retract access, and 24/7 multilingual support—enabling safe, efficient cross-border collaboration and protecting volunteers and sensitive work in high-risk environments.
