Case Study: Lewis Silkin (commercial law firm) achieves comprehensive email security and tool consolidation with Mimecast

Lewis Silkin eliminates hidden email security risks

Lewis Silkin LLP is a 42-partner commercial law firm based in the City of London with an office in Oxford and 244 employees serving a wide range of clients. The firm’s IT team was concerned about email risks—spam, viruses, false positives that block legitimate communications, potential outages and a fragmented set of point solutions—that threatened business continuity and consumed valuable IT time.

Working with reseller Datashare, Lewis Silkin implemented Mimecast to consolidate email security, continuity and policy controls. Mimecast replaced four separate products, delivered comprehensive spam and virus protection and Always‑On email continuity, ensured legitimate mail delivery, freed IT from quarantine management, and improved visibility and reporting to reduce overall risk.
