IT support for Austin law firms

Confidentiality is an ethical obligation for you, not a preference. And because you bill by the hour, an outage has an exact and uncomfortable dollar value that everyone in the firm can calculate.

What we do for you

  • Document management support and migration, with retention and version control
  • Enforced MFA and conditional access across email and remote working
  • Immutable backups with documented, tested recovery times
  • Cyber-insurance questionnaire walkthrough and gap remediation
  • Encrypted laptops and secure remote access for court and home working
What's different here

The parts generic IT support gets wrong

Client confidentiality is a duty, not a policy

Texas Rule 1.05 and the ABA's guidance on technology competence both point the same way: you are responsible for reasonable safeguards over client information, including when a third party holds it.

Cyber-insurance renewals have got serious

Carriers now ask specifically about multi-factor authentication, endpoint detection, immutable backups and training. Firms that answer no are seeing premiums rise or coverage narrow.

Document management is the practice

NetDocuments, iManage, Clio, Smokeball, or a very carefully organised file server. Whatever it is, search, version history and access control matter more here than almost anywhere else.

Client security questionnaires are arriving

Corporate clients increasingly send outside counsel a security questionnaire before engagement. Being able to answer it quickly is now a business development asset.

Scope

What we take on

  • Document management support and migration, with retention and version control
  • Enforced MFA and conditional access across email and remote working
  • Immutable backups with documented, tested recovery times
  • Cyber-insurance questionnaire walkthrough and gap remediation
  • Encrypted laptops and secure remote access for court and home working
  • Client security questionnaire responses, prepared and kept current

We build and document the technical controls your obligations and your carrier require, and we keep the evidence current so a renewal or a client questionnaire is a morning's work rather than a fire drill.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Can you support attorneys working from court or home?
Yes — encrypted laptops, secure remote access tied to your identity provider, and phones that carry the firm's number. Remote working is the normal case in our design, not an exception bolted on.
What about e-discovery and litigation hold?
We configure retention and legal hold in your mail and document systems and handle the technical side of preservation and export. The legal judgement stays with you.
Do you have experience with our practice management software?
We support the major platforms and, where we have not met yours, we learn it before go-live rather than during. Tell us what you run and we will be specific about it on the call.
