Empowering Attorneys and Clients to Exchange Large Files Securely

By Daniel G. Rhodes
December 28, 2006

Foley & Lardner LLP is a national law firm that provides a full range of legal services to clients from growing companies, including those in the e-commerce sector, to large multinational concerns, among which are many e-commerce activities. Much of this work involves the time-critical exchange of large documents and data with attorneys and clients inside and outside the firm.

Given the sensitive nature of these files, the challenge is how to give attorneys the ability to exchange the information in a secure way.
