IT built for law firms
that can't afford downtime.
From Clio and NetDocuments to LSBC compliance and client privilege protection - we manage the IT so your lawyers can focus on practicing law, not troubleshooting technology.
Legal IT isn't
generic IT
Law firms operate under professional obligations that make every IT decision consequential. A data breach doesn't just cost money - it can end careers, expose clients, and trigger Law Society sanctions. Your IT provider needs to understand that reality.
Client Confidentiality Risks
Legal privilege and solicitor-client privilege require absolute data security. A breach doesn't just cost money - it can end your practice and expose clients to harm.
LSBC Compliance Requirements
The Law Society of BC mandates specific requirements around how client data is stored, protected, and managed. Non-compliance risks disciplinary action.
eDiscovery & Litigation Holds
When litigation begins, you need to preserve electronically stored information immediately. Failing a litigation hold can mean sanctions and adverse inferences.
Legal Software Complexity
Clio, NetDocuments, iManage, PCLaw, CosmoLex - legal practice management software requires specialized expertise that generic IT providers don't have.
IT services built for
legal practice
We bridge the gap between your legal team's professional obligations and the technology that supports them - with security, compliance, and deep legal IT knowledge.
Legal Software Support
Clio, NetDocuments, iManage, PCLaw, CosmoLex, Worldox - we support the full legal tech stack, handle upgrades, integrations, licensing, and data migrations so your firm's workflow never breaks.
LSBC Compliance & Data Sovereignty
We implement controls that meet Law Society of BC requirements: BC-based data residency, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, and access controls that satisfy regulatory scrutiny.
Cybersecurity for Law Firms
Multi-layered security built for legal: email security that catches phishing targeting firms, endpoint protection, privileged access management, and dark web monitoring for your firm's credentials.
Secure Client Portals
We implement and manage encrypted client communication portals with audit trails, access controls, and document exchange that satisfies both security requirements and client expectations.
eDiscovery Support
Relativity, Nuix, and other eDiscovery platforms - we handle the infrastructure, data preservation, litigation holds, and chain of custody documentation your litigation team needs.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Automated backup of all matter files, emails, and practice management data with tested recovery procedures. Because rebuilding a client file from memory isn't an option.
Microsoft 365 & Email Security
Secure Exchange/365 deployment for law firms including email archiving, retention policies, e-discovery indexing, and anti-phishing configured specifically for the threats law firms face.
Technology for Modern
Law Firms
The legal sector has specific IT requirements that go beyond good practices - they're professional obligations. We build IT environments that satisfy LSBC requirements, protect client privilege, and support the full legal tech stack your firm depends on.
Why Legal IT Is Different
Clio & Practice Management
Full Clio deployment and management: setup, data migration from legacy systems, custom fields, integrations with Outlook and NetDocuments, and ongoing support. We know Clio.
Document Management
NetDocuments, iManage, and Worldox - properly configured with ethical walls, matter-based permissions, version control, and integration with your practice management system.
Legal Research Platform Support
LexisNexis, Westlaw, Caselines - we manage licensing, browser compatibility, and the infrastructure behind your research tools.
Remote Access for Lawyers
Secure VPN and remote desktop solutions that let lawyers work from court, client offices, or home without compromising data security or LSBC obligations.
IT for Multi-Office Firms
Site-to-site networking, centralized management, consistent security policies, and file sharing across all your offices - Vancouver, Kelowna, or elsewhere in BC.
Court Filing System Integration
Federal Court, BC Supreme Court, and eCourt filing integrations - we ensure your systems integrate smoothly with court portals and filing requirements.
We understand
legal
We don't just know IT - we know what happens when a server goes down with a filing deadline three hours away. Our team understands LSBC requirements, Clio integrations, NetDocuments architecture, and the professional obligations that make law firm IT fundamentally different from regular business IT.
