BlackBerry announced that Bharucha & Partners, one of India's leading full service law firms, has upgraded its mobile fleet to BlackBerry® 10 smartphones and Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) platform to BlackBerry® Enterprise Service 10 (BES10), to manage its mobile infrastructure and protect corporate data.

All lawyers and paralegals as well as senior members of the administrative staff have moved to BlackBerry 10 smartphones, primarily BlackBerry Q5 and BlackBerry Z30 smartphones. As per the company policy, emails are only allowed on BlackBerry smartphones managed by BES 10. With BlackBerry Balance technology, users can access their professional and personal information separately without compromising security. The partition allows the professional part to be controlled and managed by the company's IT department, while the personal section is open for employees as per BYOD norms.

With over 60 lawyers, the firm offers expertise in different fields of legal practice with corporate mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, litigation, arbitration, capital markets and financial regulation being its core areas.

With BES 10, we are able to manage and service all of our devices across platforms with a simple unified console while BlackBerry 10 smartphones provide a great user experience and help reduce overhead costs," said Justin Bharucha, Founding Partner, Bharucha & Partners. "The BlackBerry Balance technology enables easy segregation of work and personal activities.
