Case Study: Allens Linklaters achieves secure mobile access and streamlined global document sharing with Kiteworks

International law firm mobilizes teams so attorneys, clients and partners securely access up-to-date content whenever and wherever

Allens Linklaters, a global law firm with century-spanning client relationships, needed a secure, auditable way to send large legal documents without relying on shipped CDs or IT-run FTP transfers. Those legacy options caused delays, lost billable hours and security uncertainty, so the firm sought an on‑premise, mobile-friendly solution that gave intuitive access, tracking and minimal IT management.

After evaluating eight vendors, Allens deployed Accellion on‑site, gaining AES256‑encrypted mobile apps, custom branding and MobileIron integration for remote wipe. The result: attorneys, clients and partners can securely access, share and track documents from anywhere, IT support response improved, and the firm achieved tighter security control with minimal ongoing IT overhead.
