Case Study: Stephenson Harwood achieves secure, fast large-file sharing and full auditability with Progress MOVEit File Transfer

International Law Firm Stephenson Harwood Shares Large Files Securely with MOVEit

Stephenson Harwood Legal, a London‑based international law firm with over 150 partners and 1,000 staff, needed a secure, flexible way to share highly confidential and often very large client files while meeting strict client and regulatory audit requirements. Existing approaches (encrypted USBs, drives, email and tunnels) were fragmented and couldn’t be set up quickly for different clients or provide reliable delivery confirmation and comprehensive audit logs.

After consulting with HANDD Business Solutions, the firm implemented MOVEit File Transfer to provide encrypted, policy‑driven managed file transfers with full visibility into file activity. The solution was deployed quickly, proved highly reliable in daily use, enabled fast onboarding of client recipient groups, offered download receipts and automated user expiries, and delivered the control and auditability Stephenson Harwood needed to satisfy clients and regulators.
