Henmans LLP

Henmans LLP makes the case for IP

The company:

Henmans LLP is the premier legal firm in Oxford, with several  practice areas recognised as the leading experts in the Thames Valley. The firm has a national reputation in its specialist areas, handling commercial and personal matters for a wide range of clients. Henmans also acts for a large number of third sector organisations and insurers. The firm has undergone steady expansion in recent years and continues to grow, becoming a significant presence in its chosen fields.

The challenge:

In April 2007 the firm merged its 150 staff and its two sites, originally in Woodstock and Oxford, into a single building on the Oxford Business Park.  The merger provided the ideal opportunity for the Henmans IT team to undertake a full review of the organisation’s communications infrastructure and to assess the firm’s requirements going forward.

The older sites had legacy systems, which were nearing end of life and due to time constraints the team was looking to install and pre-configure a new system prior to occupation of the new site.  The chosen solution needed to be a cost effective, scaleable solution that could facilitate flexible working going forwards.
