IT for Law Firms

Client confidentiality is a model rule, not a marketing claim. We treat it that way.

Confidentiality-first IT for solo practitioners, boutique firms, and mid-size practices across the Southeast.

Industry fit

What's actually different about your industry.

Generic MSP advice falls apart the moment it meets your real apps, your real audit, and your real downtime cost.

Compliance we live with

  • ABA Model Rule 1.6 confidentiality
  • ABA Formal Opinion 477R reasonable efforts
  • State bar technology competence requirements

Apps we support

  • Clio
  • MyCase
  • Smokeball
  • PracticePanther
  • iManage
  • NetDocuments
  • Worldox
  • PCLaw
  • CosmoLex

Pains we hear in week one

  • Document management is split between SharePoint, NetDocuments, and someone's desktop.
  • Email is the e-discovery target and the firm has no defensible retention policy.
  • Large depositions and trial exhibits transferred via consumer Dropbox or USB drives.
  • MFA enforcement on partners is voluntary and partial.

Outcomes

What you actually get.

Concrete deliverables. No vague promises.

  • Tiered access to matter folders with audit logs, version history, and ethical-wall enforcement.
  • Email retention + journaling configured for defensible discovery without paying litigation hold fees forever.
  • Secure large-file transfer for opposing counsel and clients (no consumer Dropbox).
  • MFA enforced firm-wide, including on partners — using phishing-resistant methods (security keys / Authenticator number-match).
  • On-call IT for trial weeks: pre-flight check, live-day support, post-day debrief.

FAQ

Common questions for your industry.

Yes. We implement matter-level access controls in your DMS and identity provider so a walled-off team genuinely cannot see the protected matter — and we produce the audit log to prove it.

Yes. For managed clients, we provide pre-flight check (laptops, hotspots, displays, evidence presentation tools) before trial week and on-call support during. We've done this enough that we have a checklist.

It depends entirely on configuration. Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace can be 1.6-compliant when set up correctly (MFA, Conditional Access, DLP, retention, encryption). They are not compliant out of the box. We deliver the configuration and the documentation.

Yes — law-firm cyber questionnaires lean heavily on encryption-in-transit, MFA, and incident response. We've answered enough of these to know which controls keep premiums reasonable.
