    Managed IT Services

    Running a law firm is complex enough without worrying about whether your technology will work tomorrow. Our managed IT services give you a complete IT department (monitoring, security, support, and strategy) for a predictable monthly cost.

    Unlike paying only when things break, our proactive approach prevents problems before they disrupt your practice. We become your technology partner, not just a vendor you call in emergencies.

    What's Included in Managed IT

    Our managed services model covers every aspect of your technology infrastructure, eliminating the gaps that occur when you rely on reactive, break-fix support.

    Round the Clock Monitoring & Remediation

    Our network operations center watches your systems day and night, using advanced alerting tools to catch issues before they impact your business. When problems pop up, we often fix them before you even notice.

    99.9% uptime guaranteed across managed infrastructure

    Endpoint Security & Threat Protection

    Every device on your network is protected with serious endpoint detection and response (EDR), anti-malware, and regular security patching. We manage your security stack so you don't have to.

    Average 15 minute response time for security alerts

    Cloud Infrastructure Management

    Whether you're on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, AWS, or Azure, we manage your cloud environment for optimal performance, security, and cost efficiency. Organizations waste an average of 32% of cloud spend on unused resources—we help you avoid that.

    Expertise in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform

    Network Design & Administration

    From initial network architecture to ongoing maintenance, we ensure your network is fast, reliable, and secure. This includes router/switch management, VLAN segmentation, VPN configuration, and Wi-Fi optimization.

    Network performance reviews included quarterly

    Backup, Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity

    96% of organizations with a tested disaster recovery plan fully recover from ransomware attacks. Our 3-2-1 backup strategy (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite) ensures you can recover from any disaster.

    4-hour RTO (Recovery Time Objective) standard

    Help Desk & User Support

    Your team gets a single point of contact for all IT issues, from password resets to complex troubleshooting. Our help desk is staffed by technicians who understand legal technology, not generic IT folks reading scripts.

    Average ticket resolution time under 4 hours

    In-House IT vs. Managed Services

    Many firms assume hiring an internal IT person is the best approach. Here's how that compares to a managed services partnership—the math often surprises people.
