Downey Brand Mobilizes Lawyers Through Good Technology

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Good Technology™, the leader in secure mobility, today announced that Downey Brand, a full-service law firm based in California, is using the Good Enterprise Suite to enable business productivity and end-to-end mobile security.

Downey Brand counsels clients in more than 25 areas of civil practice including corporate, business planning, bankruptcy, health care and financial services, which require the highest level of security. Since many of its attorneys travel often and work remotely, Downey Brand required a solution that enabled employees to have secure access to client files and corporate data on its mobile devices. As a result, the firm saw an immediate spike in productivity, as lawyers were able to access their most confidential and important files in real time.

"Given the unconventional schedule of our attorneys, we needed a mobile solution that would be both flexible and secure," said Betty Barth, information services manager at Downey Brand. "Good Technology has allowed us to protect our clients' confidential information, while simultaneously respecting the privacy of our attorneys' by leaving personal content on their devices untouched. We also have peace of mind knowing we can remotely wipe corporate data from a device in case it's lost or stolen."  

With the recent drought in California, Downey Brand's lawyers have been working hard to help water and agricultural clients work with lawmakers, government agencies, regional water districts and farmers to solve problems. Good Technology enables Downey Brand's lawyers and support staff to easily stay in touch both during and outside of regular work hours. Employees are able to receive and respond to important messages, share, review and provide feedback on urgent documents, be notified about rescheduled meetings and organize tasks, all within a secure environment where data is encrypted.

"As clients turn to us for efficient and practical legal advice, it's important that our attorneys and support staff have the mobile tools they need to help clients advance their business goals," continued Barth. "The Good Enterprise Suite is an indispensible solution which provides our lawyers with the capability to be more productive and have immediate access to client communications. They are able to view corporate email, calendar information, documents repository, contacts, task management and secure browser, anytime and from any device."

Downey Brand currently has approximately 90 attorneys using the Good Enterprise Suite capabilities on their iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. The firm currently has both corporate owned, personally enabled (COPE) and bring your own device (BYOD) programs in place, in order to provide a flexible mobility plan for each of its lawyers.

"As more and more businesses turn to mobility to increase productivity, they also want to know that sensitive corporate data is secure inside and outside the office," said Andy Jacques, senior vice president of worldwide sales at Good Technology. "For companies like Downey Brand, a secure mobility platform that drives productivity has become instrumental for day-to-day collaboration among its attorneys and clients."

Good for Enterprise is a cross-platform solution that works across iOS, Android and Windows Phone devices, and is the only cross-platform mobile collaboration solution for iOS and Android to achieve Common Criteria EAL4+ certification. Good for Enterprise is a part of the Good Collaboration Suite, which also includes Good Share, Good Connect and Good Access.
