Regional Law Firm Modernization
How we helped a 25-attorney law firm transform their IT infrastructure from a source of frustration into a competitive advantage.
The Client
A regional law firm with 25 attorneys and 40 support staff across two offices. They specialize in corporate law, real estate, and estate planning, serving clients throughout Central Florida.
The Challenge
The firm was struggling with aging infrastructure that caused frequent problems:
- Weekly server issues disrupting attorney productivity
- Growing security concerns with client data protection
- Inability to support remote work effectively
- Previous IT provider was slow to respond and hard to understand
The Solution
We developed a comprehensive modernization plan executed over 3 months:
Microsoft 365 Migration
Moved email, documents, and collaboration to the cloud with proper security configuration.
Security Enhancement
Implemented multi-factor authentication, email encryption, and security awareness training.
Network Modernization
Upgraded networking equipment with proper redundancy and monitoring.
Managed Services
Ongoing 24/7 monitoring, maintenance, and responsive help desk support.
The Results
Within 6 months of completing the project, the firm experienced significant improvements:

- All staff can work securely from any location
- Support requests resolved in under 15 minutes on average
- Enhanced security posture with documented policies
