FBC Manby Bowdler Moves to Seamless, Secure File Sharing through HighQ

To consolidate a range of disparate technology solutions into a single, seamless file-sharing offering for clients, UK law firm FBC Manby Bowdler LLP (FBCMB) has adopted Thomson Reuters HighQ.

FBCMB is a 26-partner law firm that has been providing award-winning legal advice to businesses and individuals since 1826. Employing more than 180 people, the firm has eight offices based throughout the West Midlands, Shropshire, and Worcestershire and prides itself on working in partnership with its clients to ensure the provision of commercial, innovative, and cost-transparent legal advice that adds value and uncomplicates the legal process. In addition to holding the LawNet Mark of Excellence, FBCMB is regularly recognized by both Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners.

The firm wanted to move away from the existing array of technology solutions it used to facilitate deals within the corporate team, both to enhance efficiency and eliminate any potential security risk to the firm. It sought a proven, highly secure solution for file sharing and collaboration — for which HighQ was exactly the right fit.

Beyond the firm’s corporate team, other areas of the business have started to utilize the market-leading functionality of HighQ. More specifically, the firm’s commercial real estate team now puts HighQ at the heart of how it facilitates numerous transactions with clients and external third parties.
