IT Challenges Law Firms Face

Law firms handle some of the most sensitive data in any industry. A single breach can mean disciplinary action, malpractice claims, and loss of client trust.

Privileged Communications

ABA Rule 1.6 requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to client information. Unencrypted email puts privilege at risk.

Document Management

Case files, contracts, and discovery documents need secure storage, version control, and reliable backup with retention policies.

Secure File Sharing

Sending sensitive documents via regular email attachments is a liability. Your firm needs encrypted transfer with audit trails.

Remote Access for Attorneys

Attorneys work from courthouses, home offices, and client sites. Secure remote access to firm resources is non-negotiable.

Cyber Insurance Requirements

Carriers require MFA, endpoint protection, encrypted email, and incident response plans. Missing any one can void your policy.

eDiscovery Readiness

When litigation hits, you need email archiving, search, and legal hold capabilities. Proper IT infrastructure makes eDiscovery manageable.

ABA Rule 1.6 and Your IT Obligations

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) requires lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized disclosure of client information. ABA Formal Opinion 477R goes further, stating that the use of unencrypted email may not satisfy this duty when transmitting highly sensitive information.

South Carolina adopted Rule 1.6 in its Rules of Professional Conduct. That means every firm in Greenville has an affirmative duty to protect client data — and IT is the infrastructure that makes it possible.

We build your IT environment around these obligations so your attorneys can focus on practicing law, not managing technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ABA Rule 1.6 require email encryption?

ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) requires lawyers to make "reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client." ABA Formal Opinion 477R specifically addresses electronic communications and states that unencrypted email may not be sufficient for highly sensitive matters. The practical answer: if you're emailing client data, you need encryption.

What practice management software do you support?

We support the major legal practice management platforms including Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, CosmoLex, Smokeball, and others. We handle the IT infrastructure — networking, security, backups, and endpoint management — that these platforms depend on.

Can you help us pass a cyber insurance audit?

Yes. Our managed IT plans include the controls that cyber insurance carriers require: MFA, encrypted email, endpoint detection and response, backup verification, security awareness training, and incident response planning. We provide documentation for your application and renewal.

Do you support remote and hybrid law firms?

Absolutely. Many of the firms we work with have attorneys working from home offices, courthouses, and client sites. We deploy secure remote access, cloud-based practice management, and endpoint protection that travels with your team.

What happens if we have a data breach?

Our incident response process activates immediately. We isolate affected systems, preserve forensic evidence, assess the scope of exposure, and coordinate with your cyber insurance carrier and legal counsel. We also help you meet state bar notification requirements if client data was involved.
