What We Do for Law Firms
Five areas, one goal: protect confidential client information and keep your firm productive.
- Managed and co-managed IT. Help desk, monitoring, and support, run for you or alongside your IT team.
- Cybersecurity. Multifactor authentication, endpoint and email protection, and security awareness training, including how to spot fake IT support calls.
- Backup and recovery. Tested backups, disaster recovery, and incident response and continuity planning, so the firm keeps working if something goes wrong.
- Microsoft 365 and documents. Permissions and sharing that keep matter files with the right people, plus secure access for remote and hybrid teams.
- AI guardrails. AI readiness assessments, shadow AI discovery, policy support, and a permissions review before Copilot is turned on.
Why Law Firms Need to Act Now
AI use and cyber threats are growing faster than most firms’ safeguards.
- In the 8am 2026 Legal Industry Report, 69% of legal professionals said they use general-purpose AI for work, yet 43% of firms have no AI governance policy and 54% offer no AI training.
- In the ABA’s 2023 Cybersecurity TechReport, 29% of law firms reported experiencing a form of security breach, per ABA Law Technology Today.
- The FBI warned in May 2026 that the Silent Ransom Group has targeted U.S. law firms since spring 2023, with callers posing as the firm’s IT support.

Frequently Asked Questions
What IT services does a law firm need?
A law firm needs managed IT support, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365 management, backup and disaster recovery, and a plan for AI use. Together they keep client information confidential, documents accessible, and attorneys working without interruption. AdvancedBITS provides these as a fully managed service or alongside a firm’s in-house IT team.
How can a law firm protect client confidentiality with technology?
Is it safe for lawyers to use ChatGPT with client information?
What is shadow AI in a law firm?
Shadow AI in a law firm is the use of AI tools, accounts, extensions, or meeting bots that the firm has not reviewed or approved, often a lawyer’s personal chatbot account. The firm cannot see what client information is entered or what the provider does with it, which creates confidentiality risk.
