Case Study: Charles Russel achieves uninterrupted email continuity, 10-year archiving and spam protection with Mimecast

Keeping spam at bay, whilst delivering a global email DR and archiving strategy

Charles Russell is a top-50 London law firm with 600+ email users across eight offices. Facing rising email volumes and a planned office move, its IT team wanted to cut time spent managing spam quarantines, ensure continuous email availability during server failures or upgrades, and implement a compliant 10-year archiving strategy without having to forecast future storage needs.

The firm deployed Mimecast’s cloud-based email security, continuity and archiving, giving users on-demand access to archived mail and attachments and shifting to an annual per-user pricing model. The outcome was reduced administrative overhead, uninterrupted email service during outages or upgrades, predictable costs, and greater confidence in meeting regulatory and client service obligations.
