Is your law firm experiencing
any of these IT problems?
If your firm is experiencing any of the below, specialist legal IT support from Coreitech can resolve it — typically within 48 hours.
Practice management software going down
When LEAP, Clio, or SOS fails, client work stops. Generic IT providers don't understand PMS dependencies — Coreitech does.
Conveyancing fraud risk
Email spoofing attacks targeting client funds are the #1 financial cyber risk for law firms. Without DMARC and email monitoring, you're exposed.
SRA compliance evidence gaps
SRA inspections increasingly examine IT security controls. Firms without documented security posture face regulatory risk at renewal.
PI insurance requiring Cyber Essentials
Professional indemnity insurers now routinely require Cyber Essentials or CE+ as a condition of cover. Firms without it face higher premiums or declined renewals.
Slow IT response during court deadlines
IT downtime during court filing deadlines, completions, or billing runs is catastrophic. Most law firms settle for reactive IT that lets them down at the worst moments.
Switching IT providers safely
Law firms worry about disruption when switching IT providers. Coreitech manages the entire transition in 48 hours — no gap in PMS or Microsoft 365 support.
Generic IT support isn't enough
for a law firm
Most IT companies support law firms the same way they support any other business — and that's the problem. Legal IT has specific requirements that generalist providers miss: practice management software (PMS) dependencies, SRA compliance obligations, matter-centric data security, conveyancing fraud prevention, and the unique structure of barristers' chambers. When an IT provider doesn't understand these, you get compliance gaps and operational failures.
Coreitech has supported law firms, solicitors, and barristers' chambers across London for years. We understand your practice management systems, your SRA obligations, your GDPR requirements, and the specific cyber risks facing the legal sector in 2026.
Managed IT Support for Law Firms
All-inclusive managed IT for solicitors, barristers' chambers, and legal practices. Unlimited helpdesk, proactive monitoring, on-site engineers, patch management — one fixed monthly price per user.
Cyber Security & Ransomware Protection
Enterprise cyber security for legal firms. Endpoint detection, email threat protection, phishing simulation, dark web monitoring, and 24/7 SOC. Designed to meet SRA security expectations.
Microsoft 365 & Cloud for Legal
Microsoft 365 Business Premium and Azure setup, migration, and management for law firms. Teams, SharePoint, iManage integration, Entra ID, Intune MDM, and Defender.
Cyber Essentials for Law Firms
End-to-end Cyber Essentials and CE+ certification support. Required by legal sector supply chains, professional indemnity insurers, and increasingly by large corporate clients.
Practice Management Software Support
Expert support for LEAP, Clio, SOS, Lawsoft, Visualfiles, and Action Step. We understand legal PMS environments and the IT dependencies that make them work reliably.
SRA Compliance & GDPR IT Governance
IT governance aligned to SRA Code of Conduct requirements. Access controls, data retention policies, DSAR support, client matter segregation, and breach response planning.
Why law firms are high-value
targets for cyber attacks
Conveyancing fraud
Email domain spoofing and account compromise enabling funds diversion — the single highest-cost cyber risk for property law practices.
Ransomware targeting client files
Law firm data — active matter files, client communications, financial records — is highly valuable to ransomware attackers for extortion leverage.
SRA regulatory exposure
A cyber incident involving client data triggers both SRA notification obligations and ICO reporting requirements, with potential regulatory and financial consequences.
PI insurance invalidation
Cyber incidents arising from inadequate IT security controls may be disputed by professional indemnity insurers, leaving firms personally exposed.
Microsoft 365 Copilot
for law firms — safely deployed
AI tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot are transforming legal workflows — automating first drafts of correspondence, summarising lengthy case files, generating meeting notes from Teams calls, and surfacing relevant matter precedents from your document management system.
However, deploying Copilot in a law firm requires careful data governance. Without proper permissions, Copilot can surface confidential client data to the wrong people. Coreitech manages the full Copilot readiness process — reviewing SharePoint permissions, implementing sensitivity labelling, removing overshared content, and then deploying Copilot with confidence.
We also advise on SRA implications of AI tool adoption — ensuring that your firm's use of AI is documented, governed, and defensible under the SRA Code of Conduct.

"They had us Cyber Essentials certified in 3 weeks, which our largest corporate client required before renewing instructions. The SRA compliance documentation they provided was also excellent for our PI renewal."

IT support for law firms:
common questions answered
Q.What IT support do law firms need that's different from other businesses?
Law firms have specific requirements around practice management software (LEAP, Clio, SOS, iManage), document management systems, SRA compliance, client confidentiality, conveyancing fraud prevention, and GDPR data subject access requests. Generic IT companies often lack this specialist knowledge, leading to compliance gaps and operational inefficiencies. Coreitech specialises in legal IT support and understands these requirements deeply.
Q.How do you help law firms meet SRA IT security requirements?
The SRA Code of Conduct requires firms to have appropriate systems and controls to protect client data and money. We implement MFA on all systems, endpoint detection and response (EDR), email security including DMARC/DKIM/SPF, role-based access controls for matter data, encrypted remote access, and regular vulnerability assessments. We also document your security posture to support SRA reviews and PI insurance renewals.
Q.Can you support conveyancing fraud prevention?
Yes — this is a critical risk for conveyancing practices. We implement DMARC, DKIM, and SPF to prevent email domain spoofing; deploy email thread monitoring for transaction communications; configure anti-phishing tooling; and run staff training on verification procedures. We also implement conditional access policies to prevent account compromise that could enable funds diversion.
Q.Do you support barristers' chambers IT?
Yes. Chambers have a unique IT model — employed clerks alongside self-employed barristers. We support Lex and similar clerks' management systems, implement BYOD policies that protect chambers data without controlling personal devices, configure appropriate data segregation between chambers and individual barristers, and manage the connectivity and security needs of chambers that handle both publicly and privately funded work.
Q.How much does IT support for a law firm cost?
Managed IT support for law firms from Coreitech costs £25/user/month (Standard plan) or £50/user/month (Advanced plan — includes Microsoft 365 management, on-site engineers, dedicated account manager, and cyber security). Both plans include unlimited helpdesk, 24/7 monitoring, and PMS support with no hidden charges.
Q.Can you help our law firm achieve Cyber Essentials certification?
Yes. Cyber Essentials is increasingly required by law firms — for professional indemnity insurance, government contract eligibility, large corporate client supply chains, and as evidence of appropriate security controls under the SRA Code. We provide gap assessment, remediation, and full certification support. Most firms achieve certification within 3–4 weeks.
Q.What is the best IT support for a law firm?
The best IT support for a law firm combines specialist knowledge of legal PMS platforms (LEAP, Clio, iManage, SOS), SRA-aware security controls, proactive monitoring with a guaranteed response SLA, and transparent fixed pricing. Coreitech provides all of this from £25/user/month with a 15-minute critical response SLA, on-site engineers, and a 100% first-time Cyber Essentials pass rate.
Q.How quickly can you onboard a law firm switching IT provider?
Most law firm IT transitions complete within 48 hours. We manage the entire process — communicating with your previous provider, retrieving all credentials and documentation, deploying monitoring agents, securing your Microsoft 365 tenant, and ensuring your team has live helpdesk access from day one. There is no gap in support coverage during the transition.
Q.Can you deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot for a law firm safely?
Yes — but Copilot deployment in a law firm requires data governance work before activation. Without proper SharePoint permissions and sensitivity labelling, Copilot can surface confidential client data to the wrong users. Coreitech conducts a Copilot readiness assessment, remediates permissions, implements sensitivity labelling and DLP policies, and then deploys Copilot with confidence. We also advise on SRA implications and produce governance documentation to demonstrate responsible AI adoption.
Q.What is the best IT support company for law firms in the UK?
The best IT support for law firms combines: specialist knowledge of legal PMS platforms (LEAP, Clio, iManage, SOS), SRA-aware security controls with documented compliance evidence, 24/7 monitoring with a contractual 15-minute critical response SLA, Cyber Essentials certification support with a 100% first-time pass rate, and conveyancing fraud prevention controls. Coreitech provides all of this from £25/user/month — based at London Bridge and supporting UK law firms nationally.
