Supporting Law Firms for Over 30 Years with Secure, Reliable IT

Managing IT across multiple offices and remote working setups introduces complexity that generic IT support isn’t designed to handle. For over 30 years, we’ve supported law firms with a structured, proactive approach that keeps systems secure, reliable, and consistently available — regardless of location or working pattern.

By standardising IT across users, devices, and offices, we reduce risk, prevent recurring issues, and give legal teams confidence that IT will not compromise client service or confidentiality.

Backup, Resilience & Incident Response

Together, these four foundations give law firms reliable, secure IT that protects client work, supports compliance, and reduces operational risk.

First Time Fix Icon
97% First-Time Fix Rate

With a 97% first-time fix rate, most issues are resolved correctly at the first interaction, minimising disruption and keeping legal teams focused on client work.

The result is secure, reliable IT support that protects client work and supports the day-to-day operation of law firms.

Maintaining a 70+ Microsoft Secure Score Across Law Firm Environments

We maintain a minimum Microsoft Secure Score of 70 across customer environments — above the UK average of around 50 — helping reduce cyber risk across identities, devices, and Microsoft 365 in law firm settings.

This provides law firms with a consistent, measurable security baseline that protects client confidentiality, supports compliance, and reduces the risk of data exposure or unauthorised access.

Frequently Asked Questions

These FAQs answer common questions law professionals ask when considering managed IT support for confidential environments.

How Do You Prevent IT Disruption in Law Firms?

We prevent IT disruption by proactively monitoring critical systems, standardising configurations, and resolving issues before they impact client work, deadlines, or access to legal systems. Our focus is on prevention rather than reactive firefighting, ensuring reliable access to case management, email, and document systems.

Next step: If preventing disruption to client work is a priority, a consultation can help identify where risks currently exist in your environment.

Can You Support Multi-Site or Hybrid Law Firms?

Yes, we support law firms operating across multiple offices, remote locations, and hybrid working models by delivering consistent IT standards, secure access, and centralised management across all sites and users.

Next step: A review of your current setup can highlight where inconsistencies or access risks exist across offices and remote staff.

How Do You Support Lawyers and Staff During Working Hours?

We provide responsive, business-aligned IT support designed around legal working patterns, ensuring lawyers and staff can access support quickly when client work is time-sensitive. Our approach prioritises fast resolution and clear escalation to minimise interruption.

Next step: Understanding your firm’s working patterns helps ensure support is aligned to when it’s needed most.

How Disruptive Is Onboarding Managed IT Support for a Law Firm?

Onboarding is carefully planned and structured to minimise disruption, with a focus on understanding your systems, users, and workflows before taking over support. This ensures continuity of service and avoids unnecessary changes during the transition.

Next step: An initial assessment can outline what onboarding would look like for your firm and where risks can be avoided.

 

Who Will Support Our Law Firm Day to Day?

Your firm is supported by a dedicated pod of engineers who become familiar with your environment, systems, and priorities. This reduces handovers, improves response times, and ensures consistent, accountable support.

Next step: Discussing how our pod model works can help determine whether it fits your firm’s expectations for support continuity.

 

How Do You Secure Law Firm IT Environments and Client Data?

We apply consistent security baselines across users, devices, and Microsoft 365, working towards a Microsoft Secure Score of 70 to reduce cyber risk. This helps protect client data, control access, and support confidentiality obligations.

Next step: A security review can highlight how your current posture compares and where improvements can be made.

What Happens If There Is a Major IT Incident or Cyber Event?

In the event of a major incident, we follow a structured response process focused on containment, recovery, and clear communication. This ensures systems are restored quickly while protecting data and maintaining operational control.

Next step: Understanding your current incident response readiness can help reduce risk before an issue occurs.

Do You Support Legal Software and Legacy Systems as Well as Cloud Platforms?

Yes, we support a wide range of legal software, legacy systems, and modern cloud platforms, ensuring they work reliably together. Our approach focuses on stability first, then incremental improvement without disrupting legal workflows.

Next step: Reviewing your existing systems helps identify where compatibility or reliability issues may exist.
