IT Built For Law Firms —
Protect Client Confidentiality, Win More Cases

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) requires attorneys to "make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client." The rule doesn't specify exact technical requirements, but ABA commentary and state bar opinions increasingly interpret "reasonable efforts" to include: documented information security policies, MFA on all accounts, encryption at rest and in transit, regular risk assessments, incident response plans, and staff cybersecurity training. Rule 1.1 Comment 8 also requires attorneys to maintain competence in relevant technology.

A typical 25-attorney Pacific Northwest law firm (roughly 35-40 total staff) invests $5,250–$9,000 per month ($150–$225 per user per month) for fully-managed IT including 24/7 monitoring, unlimited helpdesk, practice management software support, secure document management, endpoint security, encrypted email, and strategic planning. Firms needing enhanced enterprise client security capabilities or eDiscovery infrastructure fall at the higher end.

Yes. Our team has hands-on experience with all major legal practice management and document management platforms — Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Rocket Matter, Smokeball, CosmoLex, Tabs3/PracticeMaster, NetDocuments, iManage Work, Worldox, and more. We don't replace your practice management vendor's support, but we handle the infrastructure, integrations, user access, backups, and network performance that keeps these systems running.

Law firms are prime ransomware targets because they hold sensitive client data (M&A deals, IP, litigation strategy, personal injury settlements) and downtime during active litigation creates pressure to pay ransoms. ABA ethics opinions increasingly treat inadequate cybersecurity as a potential professional responsibility issue. Beyond ransom payments, a breach can lead to client loss, professional liability exposure, bar complaints, and expensive forensic investigation. Our program combines prevention (EDR, MFA, SOC monitoring) with tested incident response.

Yes. Enterprise clients (especially in financial services, healthcare, and tech) increasingly require outside counsel to complete extensive security questionnaires like the SIG (Standardized Information Gathering) or CAIQ (Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire). We help you build out the controls these questionnaires ask about, document your practices, and complete the actual questionnaires efficiently. Many law firms we work with have turned security from a liability into a competitive advantage for winning enterprise work.

Modern attorney work is mobile — courtroom, client sites, home office, and travel. We build secure remote access using a combination of VPN, Microsoft 365 with conditional access, secure remote desktop, and managed mobile devices. Attorneys can access practice management software, email, and documents securely from anywhere. We also provide cellular backup connectivity for situations where courthouse WiFi is unreliable or unavailable. All remote access includes MFA and is logged for audit purposes.
