Biscom Extends Legal Industry Leadership with New Law Firm Clients

Caplin & Drysdale, Germer Gertz, Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody, Porter Scott and Wiley Rein turn to Biscom for secure document transfers

Chelmsford, MA November 3, 2011 – Biscom, provider of the AmLaw 200’s most secure document exchange technology, today announced that five new clients have adopted its secure file transfer solution: Caplin & Drysdale, Germer Gertz, , L.L.P., Graves, Dougherty, Hearon & Moody P.C., Porter Scott, and Wiley Rein LLP. Now, with Biscom, the law firms can send, secure and audit file exchanges with clients and outside counsel while protecting against potential data breaches and noncompliance with government regulations.

“We often need to deliver large files to meet discovery requests, and Biscom allows us to accomplish this while also auditing the delivery for our records,” said Susan Whitmire, Information Technology Manager of Germer Gertz. “Since Biscom encrypts the transfer and only allows authorized recipients to view or access deliveries, it is also a critical component of our ability to ensure HIPAA compliance. Its ease of use has encouraged a quick adoption by our attorneys—an absolute must for a successful roll-out of any new technology in a law firm.”

“Every law firm, whether it has 5,000 lawyers or five, is vulnerable to data breaches and regulation noncompliance every time it uses email or FTP sites to send files,” said Charles Magliato, Legal Practice Director for Biscom. “While we are proud of our growing base of AmLaw 200 clients, these law firms represent an important market segment—small to medium-sized firms that leverage Biscom’s very affordable cost of ownership to improve attorney/client collaboration and secure the transfer of confidential information.”

Biscom's Secure File Transfer for Legal reduces costs and helps meet compliance for legal document exchange. Specifically designed to meet the demanding secure file exchange requirements of today’s complex legal environment, Biscom eliminates inefficient and often unsecured transmission methods such as email, FTP sites, or physical delivery of media.
