Mobile communications present major privacy challenges for the legal industry. Client-attorney privileged discussions, mergers/acquisitions details and legal strategy are just a few examples of mobile communications that have been intercepted and reported on in the news.
Nicole Allen, marketing executive at SaltDNA said: "We pride ourselves in protecting privileged conversations and this award highlights the importance that mobile communications have in the legal industry with the major data and privacy challenges that this industry faces. We are lucky to work with some of the world's largest law firms to protect their sensitive communications. Thank you to the Legal Innovation Awards for this accolade and congratulations to all other winners and finalists.”
