With over 60 lawyers, the firm offers expertise in different fields of legal practice with corporate mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, litigation, arbitration, capital markets and financial regulation being its core areas.

As per the company policy, emails are only allowed on BlackBerry smartphones managed by BES 10. With BlackBerry Balance technology, users can access their professional and personal information separately without compromising security. The partition allows the professional part to be controlled and managed by the company's IT department, while the personal section is open for employees as per BYOD normal use.

BES 10 in combination with BlackBerry 10 smartphones provides an excellent solution for environments like law firms. With BES 10, we are able to manage and service all of our devices across platforms with a simple unified console while BlackBerry 10 smartphones provide a great user experience and help reduce overhead costs.”
He continued “The BlackBerry Balance technology enables easy segregation of work and personal activities. Users can work and share information securely while retaining access to enjoy personal apps, social networks, and a rich consumer experience on their BlackBerry 10 smartphones without compromising security.”
