IT Solutions for Law Firms

Law firms have unique needs when it comes to IT support. Of course they need a productive IT environment, but that can mean something different in a law office than it does in other businesses. From the unique case management software they use to the confidential information they need to protect, law firms face unique technology challenges.

But law firms shouldn't have to constantly worry about IT support services or the technology they use - it should work when and how lawyers and staff need it to work. It should be designed to flow with their work process, it should protect sensitive information, and in the event of a problem, tech support should be quick and efficient.

Legal IT support is different from computer support for other industries, and it needs to be handled by a service that understands clients and their needs as well as the technology.

IT Support with Law Firms in Mind

The best way to deliver IT services to a legal practice is with a partnership approach: the IT support team works with the legal team to determine how best to tailor the IT services to your workflow, whether it be through hardware, software, data storage, or other solutions. An IT support company must tailor its approach not just to the legal industry, but to each individual client - the same way lawyers tailor their approach to each new case.

Law offices deal with confidential data every day, so data security is a major aspect of IT support for law firms. Part of the job of IT support for law firms is to assess where they could be susceptible to online threats and offer solutions to close those gaps and protect client data. When you choose a managed services team with over ten years of experience in information technology, your law firm can rest assured knowing that you're getting the best service.

Best Practices for Working Efficiently

Law offices are busy, and productivity and efficiency are critical. In terms of law firm IT support, that means effectively implementing and optimizing tools like Office 365. IT services should work with the law firm to tailor technology to your work style and specific needs.

Security Services

The American Bar Association takes cybersecurity seriously. ABA Formal Opinion 477 (2019) states: “[A] lawyer may be required to take special security precautions to protect against the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of client information when required by an agreement with the client or by law, or when the nature of the information requires a higher degree of security.”

The American Bar Association goes on to say that law firms have an obligation to inform clients when a data breach occurs, and that an ethical violation is possible when firms do not take reasonable steps to protect their computer systems and data, or when a breach results from a lack of reasonable effort (Formal Opinion 483).

Obviously no law firm wants to find itself in this position, and the best way to avoid it is to prevent a breach from happening at all. You need a team who can find any potential vulnerabilities in your systems and offer solutions to keep you and your clients completely safe. Call us to get started with a thorough audit of your IT environment.

Nothing is guaranteed, and a natural disaster, crime, power outage, or other event beyond your control could have a devastating effect on your law firm - if you're not prepared for it. With proper IT service and support, including backups and possibly an alternate location, your law firm will be able to recover quickly from whatever happens and get back to business.
