Confidentiality is an ethical duty, not a setting.
Managed IT for Los Angeles law firms — matter-level access control, defensible retention, protection against trust account fraud, and systems that hold up the week a filing is due.
Controls built around client confidentiality.
Access scoped by matter and practice group, so an ethical wall is enforced by the system rather than by convention.
We support the platform your firm runs on, keep it backed up independently, and make sure search and versioning stay reliable.
Verbal verification workflows and mailbox rule alerting, aimed squarely at the wire fraud that targets client trust accounts.
Retention policies you can defend, plus the ability to place and lift holds without relying on individual attorneys to remember.
Court, client site, and home access to firm systems, with device compliance enforced and firm data kept out of personal apps.
Filing deadlines do not move. Priority handling and a 4-hour response SLA on every plan, with escalation paths that work after hours.
Where firms are actually exposed.
Rule 1.6 sets a technology obligation
ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) requires reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorised disclosure of client information. In practice that means MFA, encryption, and access control that you can evidence.
Trust accounts are a named target
Attackers specifically pursue firms holding client funds, using compromised email to redirect settlement and closing payments. The control that stops it is procedural, not technical.
Client security questionnaires
Corporate clients increasingly audit their outside counsel. Firms without documented controls lose work to firms that have them ready.
Everything is discoverable
Retention that is ad hoc creates risk in both directions — keeping what should be gone, and losing what should have been held.
Frequently asked questions.
Can you work with our document management system?
Yes. We support the infrastructure and identity layer underneath whichever platform your firm uses, keep an independent backup of its data, and coordinate with the vendor on application issues.
If your firm is still on shared network folders, we can help move to a structured system — but we will not force a migration you have not asked for.
How do you handle ethical walls?
Through access groups tied to matters and practice areas, so a walled matter is genuinely inaccessible rather than merely off-limits by policy. Access changes are logged, which gives you evidence the wall held.
We set the structure up with your firm and keep it current as matters and staffing change.
Our clients send us security questionnaires. Can you help?
Yes, and this is one of the more common requests we get from firms. We complete the technical sections with evidence from your actual configuration rather than aspirational answers.
Because the control set is documented and consistent, the second questionnaire takes considerably less time than the first.
What protects us from settlement wire fraud?
A combination of phishing-resistant MFA, alerting on suspicious mailbox rules, and — most importantly — a policy that no payment instruction or banking change is acted on without verbal confirmation on a number already on file.
The technical controls reduce the chance of compromise; the phone call is what stops the loss. We help firms put both in place.
Do you support solo practitioners and small firms?
Yes. Firms from two to fifty attorneys are our typical range, and the confidentiality obligations do not scale down with headcount — a solo practitioner has the same duty under Rule 1.6 as a hundred-attorney firm.
Pricing is per user, so a small firm pays a small firm rate.
