At a Glance
A major law firm with offices in both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, BLM LLP provides a range of diversified legal services. However, its primary specialty lies in insurance risk and commercial law. Seeking to meet its own extremely strict internal security requirements while simultaneously enabling its lawyers to work remotely, BLM turned to BlackBerry.
The Organisation
With thirteen offices across the United Kingdom and Ireland, BLM provides legal services in an extremely diverse range of specialties, including brokerage, construction and property, general insurance, healthcare, and the public sector. It is also a founding member of global Insurance Law Connect, a network of insurance law firms designed to help connect clients with experts and advisors around the globe. Given its expertise, BLM understands both the importance of keeping its data secure and the consequences should it fail to do so.
“We’re very much client-led when it comes to technology and security,” explains Darren Broughton, BLM’s Head of IT. “Because so much of our work involves security and risk, it follows that we ourselves must understand it – that if we help our clients be more secure, we must be secure ourselves.”
