King & Wood Mallesons – en anglais

“We wanted to move from being great in this space, to being exceptional and within this, we wanted to realize tangible benefits for our clients. Intralinks’ platform provides us with a truly world-class system and is integral to the firm’s commitment in providing innovative client solutions.”

–Michelle Mahoney, Director, Legal Logistics at King & Wood Mallesons 

The Situation

For the last ten years, King & Wood Mallesons has been using an in-house solution to exchange documents during M&A deals. Additionally, in order to support the firm’s recent combination with Chinese law firm King & Wood, the firm required foreign language capability as well as enhanced security features to respond to client requests.

The Implications

King & Wood Mallesons’ in-house system had limitations when supporting large- scale virtual data rooms. The firm realized that if it wanted to gain competitive advantage, it needed a cost-effective solution that shortened the time it took to get large-scale virtual data rooms up and running — as well as offering the features clients required. It needed foreign language capability, 24 hour support and flexible security options in an easy-to-use solution.

The Solution

King & Wood Mallesons quickly discovered that a software as-a-service (SaaS) platform provides access to applications, and data from a range of devices. It also has broad capacity for data upload; all of which, help to drive efficiencies. After a thorough evaluation process, King & Wood Mallesons chose Intralinks based on its feature rich solution and market reputation. 

The Result

King & Wood Mallesons is enjoying improved efficiency. The firm is now able to allocate fewer resources for uploading documents to support its M&A deals, reducing its operational costs. With the firm’s enhanced service offering harnessing the power of Intralinks, King & Wood Mallesons continues to lead the way in providing world-class, innovative solutions for its clients.
