Industry case study from Accellion: Seyfarth Shaw, LLP

Seyfarth Shaw provides a broad range of legal services in the areas of labor and employment, employee benefits, litigation, corporate and real estate. With more than 800 attorneys in the U.S. and London, the firm’s clients include over 300 of the Fortune 500 companies, reflecting virtually every industry and segment of the economy.

That means getting casework and other legal-related documents into the right hands as quickly as possible, while keeping files secure in the process.
