Case Study
Nixon Peabody LLP
Nixon Peabody LLP is a Global 100
law firm with 800 attorneys in 17 cities
across the U.S., as well as France, China
and the U.K. The firm’s Information
Law/e-Discovery practice offers
legal advice on data privacy, records
management and electronic discovery
for litigation purposes. Litigation
technology specialists within the practice
now use YouSendIt to send data securely
to and receive it securely from clients
and e-discovery vendors.
The Problem
• Transferring data to CDs and delivering
them by courier was a slow process,
hindering productivity and increasing
costs for Nixon Peabody’s clients.
• The firm could not be certain who,
at a client organization, would receive a
courier delivery, raising concerns about
the data’s chain of custody.
• The current home-grown solution
for transferring data to clients was
slow and took too long to deliver
important files.
• When attorneys needed an account
set up for clients to access their
home-grown solution after hours
or on a weekend, IT staff was not
available to do so until the next
business day, delaying processes
and access to information.
The SoluTion
YouSendIt Corporate Suite
Nixon Peabody deployed YouSendIt
to litigation technology specialists
after a brief trial period. YouSendIt was
accessible to clients and partners via its
Dropbox feature. Nixon Peabody reported
that the firm benefited from critical
productivity gains, due to YouSendIt’s
ease of use for attorneys and clients alike,
the low cost of the YouSendIt service,
and its security and tracking features.
