How Grace raised the bar on legal records management at King & Wood Mallesons

The background

As a top-tier international law firm with over 3,700 lawyers across 26 global offices, King & Wood Mallesons (KWM) is trusted by industry-makers, nation-builders, and market-disrupters to deliver strategic legal advice. With a proud 200+ year legacy and a strong presence in Australia, information security and operational efficiency are central to how they serve clients.

KWM was growing increasingly dissatisfied with their incumbent offsite storage provider due to:

  • Poor account management
  • Slow customer service
  • Data integrity concerns
  • A lack of responsiveness and real-time visibility.

This prompted their national records team to re-evaluate their offsite storage partner and seek a provider that aligned more closely with their expectations for security, service, and support.

After a thorough due diligence process, KWM chose to partner with Grace for a trial period – one that would soon expand into a broader national agreement.
The solution included:

  • Secure storage of physical records
  • Responsive retrieval and destruction services
  • Centralised account management
  • Access to Grace AnalytiX, our AI driven dashboards, interactive reports, and collaborative tools, delivering real-time insights into record usage and costs.

The impact was immediate and substantial:

  • Improved visibility and control: AnalytiX gave the records team real-time access to usage trends and spend breakdowns, transforming their ability to report to stakeholders.
  • Faster retrievals: Key local contacts in each state dramatically reduced turnaround times.
  • Exceptional service: Every Grace team member from account managers, drivers, ops, and customer service – delivered an outstanding client experience.
  • Smoother billing and planning: Clearer invoicing and easier access to archival trends have helped KWM optimise their record lifecycle strategy.

“Our trial period with Grace has been a huge success… I can’t speak highly enough of how valued you feel when dealing with Grace.”
– Nando Colebella, National Records Leader, King & Wood Mallesons
