IT for Anchorage law firms.
Practice management software, encrypted email, secure client portals, and document management. The IT environment a law firm should have. Built around the actual tools your firm uses, not generic "professional services" filler.
Why most law firm IT is wrong
Most law firms in Anchorage are running on a configuration somebody set up a decade ago and nobody has touched since. Email goes through Outlook on a desktop nobody migrated to the cloud. Documents live on a file server in the closet that nobody backs up. Client communication happens over unencrypted email attachments. The "IT guy" is the senior partner's nephew who fixes the printer when it jams. This is not a security model. It is a slow-motion ABA Model Rule 1.6 problem waiting to happen.
Software and systems we already support
- Practice management software — Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball. Cloud-based and on-premise variants. Integration with email, calendar, and document storage.
- Document management — NetDocuments, iManage, SharePoint with proper version control and metadata. The "where is the latest draft" problem, solved.
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — both, with the security hardening law firms specifically need (encrypted email, sensitivity labels, audit logging, retention policies).
- Secure client portals — for document exchange that doesn't involve sending privileged information as an unencrypted email attachment.
- Encrypted email — Microsoft 365 Message Encryption, Google Workspace S/MIME, or third-party tools like Virtru depending on your environment and clients.
- Time and billing systems — TimeSolv, Bill4Time, or whatever your practice management software handles. We make sure they sync, back up, and recover.
- Endpoint encryption — BitLocker on Windows, FileVault on Mac. Required by professional responsibility, often missing in practice.
A note on professional responsibility and data security
ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) says lawyers must make "reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of, or unauthorized access to, information relating to the representation of a client." In 2026, "reasonable efforts" includes MFA, endpoint encryption, secure email, and audit logging. We are not your bar counsel. We do the technical work that makes "reasonable efforts" defensible if it ever has to be argued. For formal compliance documentation and client engagement letters, we'll point you to a partner who specializes in legal-industry IT compliance.
