A crucial part of providing legal services is the paramount requirement for confidentiality. While what is said within the privacy of a secure office environment can stay there, what about what is written down, preserved, or held in paper format?

For most law firms, physical paper files are now much less common, but document sharing and collaboration are still significant in even small, straightforward cases. Technology enables lawyers and their clients to efficiently share and collaborate across multiple documents. The requirement for online solutions has become even more prevalent in recent years, with alternative methods proving invaluable, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Although not all solutions should be solely relied upon, within the legal industry, email remains one of the primary sources of file sharing. Yet, with cybercriminals becoming ever more advanced, this is not always the most secure option.

Sharing Legal Files Efficiently and Securely at MFC Support, we have recently developed a solution to make it easier for one of our clients to share large files with their clients.

As a company in the legal sector, they need to be able to send multiple, secure and encrypted files with ease. When we developed the solution, we knew we had to be certain that there was complete privacy throughout the process due to the nature of the work. Therefore, we developed a solution that utilises security and proxy services.

The solution we have developed is hosted internally on our client’s site to ensure the best possible outcomes for them as a business. It also means that the process looks professional and consistent from a customer-facing point of view, which was essential to our client. Although other solutions are available, such as WeTransfer and IMB Send Big File, it is impossible to guarantee complete security, hence developing a bespoke solution tailored to our client’s requirements.
