FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do law firms need managed IT services instead of in-house staff?

A single IT hire cannot cover 24/7 support, cybersecurity, compliance documentation, and strategic planning. Managed IT gives your firm an entire technology department at a fraction of the cost, with expertise in legal-specific compliance requirements.

What legal software do you support?

Clio, PracticePanther, MyCase, NetDocuments, iManage, Worldox, Microsoft 365, and more. Our technicians understand legal workflows, not just generic IT troubleshooting.

How do you protect attorney-client privilege?

We implement end-to-end encryption, role-based access controls, data loss prevention policies, ethical wall configurations, and comprehensive audit logging. These controls satisfy ABA Formal Opinion 477R requirements for protecting client information.

What happens if our systems go down during a filing deadline?

Our proactive monitoring catches most issues before they cause downtime. When emergencies occur, our 24/7 helpdesk provides priority response for case-critical issues. Redundant infrastructure and tested disaster recovery ensure your firm stays operational.

Do you help with compliance beyond ABA requirements?

Yes. We support HIPAA for health law practices, PCI DSS for firms accepting credit cards, SEC/FINRA for securities practices, and additional frameworks based on your specific practice areas.

How much does managed IT for a law firm cost?

Pricing is based on your firm's size, practice areas, and technology requirements. We offer a fixed monthly fee with no surprise invoices. Contact us for a custom quote after a free assessment.
