Managed IT support for law firms

Your firm doesn't have an IT department — and it shouldn't need one. We take over the daily technology: helpdesk for the team, monitoring, updates, backups and security. One number to call, one party responsible, security matched to professional secrecy.

The problem: law-firm IT runs on one person and hope

In most firms without an in-house IT department, technology works — until it doesn't. Computers were set up by "a friendly IT guy", email runs on settings from years ago, passwords circulate by email, and the backup is a drive nobody has checked in months. Everything is fine — until the day ransomware encrypts you, or the laptop holding the only copy of the case files dies.

For a law firm the stakes are higher than for an ordinary business. Downtime isn't just a lost day — it's the risk of missing a procedural deadline. A leak isn't just a PR problem — it's a breach of professional secrecy and a GDPR incident. Law-firm IT cannot be an improvisation.

What we take on

We take over your day-to-day technology entirely or in an agreed scope. We work remotely and proactively — most problems get fixed before anyone in the firm notices them.

Helpdesk for the team

A single place to report anything — "the printer is dead", "a file disappeared", "a new laptop for the trainee". Every ticket has a number, a history and an owner, resolved within an agreed SLA.

Monitoring and proactive maintenance

Continuous oversight of servers, connectivity, email and key applications. Alerts (disk filling up, suspicious logins, service outage) before they stop the team's work.

Patching and updates

Regular, controlled system and software updates. Most successful attacks exploit holes that had a patch available for months — with us, patches land on time and tested.

Backups and disaster recovery

Encrypted 3-2-1 backups with periodically tested restores and a clear plan for outage or ransomware. You know how long getting back to work takes — because we have rehearsed it.

Devices and identity

Laptop and phone management (MDM): disk encryption, remote wipe of lost hardware, unified accounts and MFA. Onboarding a new lawyer — and securely offboarding a departing one — in a day.

Everyday security

EDR/antivirus, phishing filtering, hard password and access policies on a least-privilege basis. Security designed for professional secrecy, not from a generic template.

Professional secrecy built into the service

Running a law firm's IT means touching the environment where privileged data lives. We treat that as the starting point, not an add-on:

  • Administrative access on a least-privilege basis, with full logging of our team's actions.
  • Device and backup encryption; data processed in a controlled European environment.
  • A data processing agreement (GDPR) and clear rules on what we can and cannot see.
  • An incident response procedure — who does what, in what order, when something goes wrong.

How we start

  1. A conversation (no commitment). We get to know the firm and what hurts most in your technology — and where the biggest risk sits.
  2. IT audit (paid, credited toward implementation). We inventory hardware, software, email, backups and security. You get a risk map and a concrete plan with a quote.
  3. Takeover and clean-up (a few weeks, remote). We deploy monitoring, fix the most urgent gaps, set up backups and the helpdesk. The transition happens without downtime.
  4. Ongoing care (SLA). Day-to-day support, reports, regular security reviews and growth as the firm grows.

Part of a bigger whole

Managed IT works best as the foundation of a broader environment. It pairs naturally with cloud and email management (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace), private hosting for your data and applications, and our software services. The result: one provider for all of your firm's technology instead of six separate contracts. See all our services.

Frequently asked questions

How are you different from a regular IT outsourcing company?

A typical IT provider will set up your computers and email. We do that as part of something bigger: we are the external technology department for law firms, so the same team that keeps your IT running also builds your software, integrations and AI. The second difference is legal context — we design security around legal professional privilege and GDPR, not from a generic "for business" template.

We have "our IT person". Do you replace them?

No — we often work alongside. An internal person knows the people and the day-to-day; we add processes, monitoring, security and second-line support (the things one person cannot cover alone: regularly tested backups, incident response, hardened access policies). We can also take over IT fully if your current person is leaving and you don't want to rehire.

How fast do you respond to tickets?

We work to an agreed SLA. As a standard: critical issues (email down, work impossible) — response within 1 hour during business hours; regular tickets — same business day. For firms with elevated requirements we agree extended support windows. Every ticket has a number, a history and an owner.

Will the backups actually work when needed?

That is the right question — an untested backup is an illusion of safety. We follow the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, two media, one off-site), encrypt the copies, and periodically test restores, reporting the results. For privileged data, copies live in a controlled European environment — not on a random drive in a cupboard.

What does managed IT cost?

We work on a subscription based on user count and scope (monitoring and security only vs. a full helpdesk with device management). For a small or mid-size firm it is a predictable monthly amount per seat. We start with an IT audit and a quote — without it, any number would be a guess.
