IT Support for Ottawa Law Firms

Your firm handles privileged client data, billable-hour deadlines, and strict regulatory requirements. We handle the IT — so your lawyers can focus on law.

Industry Challenges

Your Industry's IT Challenges

⚖️ Privileged Data at Risk

Client files, case evidence, and confidential communications are prime targets for ransomware. One breach can mean professional liability and lost trust.

⏰ Billable Hours Lost to Downtime

When your practice management software or document system goes down, every minute is unbilled time. Lawyers can't work if they can't access files.

📋 Compliance Burden

Law Society of Ontario requirements for data security, client confidentiality, and records retention aren't optional. Non-compliance puts your license at risk.

🔀 Aging On-Premise Systems

Many Ottawa law firms still run aging file servers and local document management — slow, insecure, and one hardware failure away from data loss.

Real-World Example

Here's What We'd Do

15-Person Law Firm in Downtown Ottawa

First, we'd run a cybersecurity audit to identify vulnerabilities — particularly around client data access and email security. Then we'd migrate your aging on-premise file server to SharePoint with proper permissions and retention policies. We'd enforce MFA across all accounts, deploy encrypted backup, and set up proactive monitoring on your practice management software. Your lawyers would get same-business-day helpdesk support for any IT issue. Monthly cost: ~$2,835/month at the Standard tier ($189 × 15 users).
