IntraLinks to provide Lewis Silkin’s clients with market leading extranet services

London, January 7, 2010 — Lewis Silkin LLP, a leading full service corporate law firm, has selected IntraLinks, the leading provider of critical information exchange solutions, as its sole supplier of client extranet platforms. Through the use of IntraLinks’ solutions, Lewis Silkin LLP can provide a cutting edge service to its clients by allowing the secure exchange of business-critical information across enterprise boundaries.

“Our clients require the most secure solutions to facilitate the safe, compliant and auditable exchange of critical information.” said Jo Farmer, Partner in Lewis Silkin’s Media, Brands and Technology Department. “We therefore wanted a secure extranet in place to add value and create a space for all kinds of communication between Lewis Silkin and the client. We needed a partner with expertise and a proven track record in providing the highest levels of security and availability and IntraLinks came out top.  At the end of the day, our clients’ needs come before anything else, and IntraLinks shares that philosophy which was extremely important to me and the rest of the firm.”

“During the selection process I worked closely with the firm’s partners to define and select an appropriate solution. It was recognised early on that a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering would drastically reduce the total cost of ownership and provide much more functionality than an in-house solution could,” said Jan Durant, Director of IT, Lewis Silkin. “IntraLinks was the natural choice in that it provides a fully hosted and secure environment with 24/7 live support which ensures we continue to deliver the  outstanding service which our clients have come to expect from Lewis Silkin.  Also, the service capabilitiy in terms of functionality was far superior to anything else we could find in the market.”
