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.

AI use and cyber threats are growing faster than most firms’ safeguards.

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.

A law firm protects client confidentiality by controlling who can access each matter, adding multifactor authentication, protecting email and devices, backing up and testing recovery, and keeping a record of who accessed what. Training staff to recognize phishing and fake IT support calls matters just as much as the software.
It depends on the account and its terms, not the brand. A firm-managed business account with reviewed terms is a different situation from a personal login. ABA Formal Opinion 512 says client information stays confidential unless the client gives informed consent, and Florida Opinion 24-1 tells lawyers to research a tool’s data retention, sharing, and self-learning policies first. Ask your ethics counsel before client information goes in.

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.

Review and fix matter permissions before turning Copilot on. Microsoft says Copilot uses data a user can already access, so an ethical wall built on permissions is only as strong as those permissions. Clean up sharing, remove broad access, and confirm sensitive matters stay restricted to the people assigned to them.

With fully managed IT, AdvancedBITS runs the firm’s technology day to day. With co-managed IT, AdvancedBITS works alongside the firm’s in-house IT staff, taking on specific work such as security monitoring or after-hours support while the internal team keeps control. Firms choose the model that fits their staff and needs.

A specialist reviews your firm’s technology, security, and AI use and identifies opportunities to improve security, reduce risk, increase productivity, and strengthen your technology foundation. There is no cost and no obligation, and you decide what happens next.

No. AdvancedBITS provides technology, security, and AI readiness services. Your ethics counsel decides what your jurisdiction’s rules require, including questions about privilege, client consent, and disclosure.
