The Problem
One Spoofed Email Can Expose Client Files and Trust Money
The gap shows up when a corporate client asks how you protect their files or a partner signs in from a hotel. It also shows up when an email asks to change wire details before a closing.
Wire changes
A spoofed email changes wire details right before a closing.
Wire changes
Staff confirm every changed payment detail by phone, using a number already on file.
Shared logins
Partners share one admin login for the practice system.
Shared logins
Each person gets their own account with MFA, and admin rights go to named owners.
Old access
Former associates can still open matters in the document system.
Old access
Leavers lose access the same day, and matter walls are checked against your conflicts list.
Client questions
A client questionnaire asks for proof the firm can't produce.
Client questions
You get settings, screenshots, and short policy answers ready to send.
A paralegal gets an email from the title company asking to update wire instructions an hour before closing. It looks right, down to a signature block copied from your website. Meanwhile, 2 former associates can still open NetDocuments, the partners share one Clio admin login, and nobody has checked who can see the matters behind your ethical walls. Your attorney bios list names, direct emails, and assistants, which is all a scammer needs to sound like you. Then a corporate client sends a long security questionnaire with a Friday deadline.
We start where attackers start: logins and email. Every account that opens client files gets MFA, and your domain gets SPF, DKIM, and DMARC so spoofed messages are flagged. Then we write a call-back rule for wire changes, review matter access in your document system, and train staff on the scams aimed at legal work. You get a ranked fix list in plain English. Client files end up behind locks you can show a client, not just describe.
Spoofed email flagged early
SPF, DKIM, and DMARC set so fake messages from your domain get flagged or rejected.
A call-back rule for wires
Changed payment details are confirmed by phone, using a known number, before money moves.
Matter access you can show
Ethical walls and leaver accounts checked in your document and practice management systems.
Our Cybersecurity for Law Firms Process
From First Call to Locked-Down Client Files in Five Clear Steps
You approve the scope, pick when changes go live around your court calendar, and sign off the fix list and runbook before anything reaches clients or staff.
We ask about your headcount, offices, and the systems that hold client files, such as Clio or NetDocuments. A written scope and fixed price follow within 2 days. If your bar's free checklist already covers a firm your size, we'll say so before quoting.

|---|---|---|---|
| Planning | Free call, written fixed scope | Bundled into the support contract | Bar and insurer checklists |
| Legal systems | Clio, NetDocuments, and iManage settings | Often general IT only | Generic advice |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built apps, platforms, and websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Law Firms Trust Us With Client Confidentiality
Cybersecurity for law firms touches privileged files, trust money, and partners' habits. These habits keep our work careful, quiet, and easy for your firm to explain to clients.
Client matters stay closed
We review settings, permissions, and logs, not the contents of privileged documents. When a check needs a file, someone at your firm opens it while we look at the setting.
Changes planned around court dates
We schedule MFA rollouts and sign-in changes away from filing deadlines, trials, and closings. Nobody loses access the night before a hearing.
Plain answers for partners
Partners get a one-page summary that says what the risk is, what fixing it takes, and who decides. There's no jargon and no scare tactics.
Security, not legal advice
We set up controls that support your duty of confidentiality, but we don't interpret ethics rules. Your ethics counsel or your bar's ethics hotline answers those questions.
We work beside your IT provider
Your current IT provider keeps running the office day to day. We close the security gaps alongside them and leave notes they can maintain.
Fixed price by firm size
You get one fixed price for the people and offices in scope. A new office or a merger is quoted before we start on it.
Overview

Good fit
Small firms that move client funds
Your firm handles settlement or escrow money, and a spoofed email asking to change wire details is the scam you worry about most.
Firms running cloud practice tools
You run Clio, NetDocuments, and Microsoft 365, and you want cloud-based law firm cybersecurity settings checked by someone outside your IT contract.
Firms facing client security questionnaires
Your corporate client's outside counsel guidelines ask how you protect their files, and you need honest answers backed by settings you can show.
Regional firms with several offices
Your offices set up laptops and sharing rules differently, and you need one security policy that every office follows and can prove.
Firms after a close call
Your partners read about a law firm hacked through one inbox, or it nearly happened to you, and you want the gaps closed now.
Not a fit
Need a client portal
You mainly need a safer way to share documents and messages with clients. Our law firm client portal page covers that build.
Want ongoing monitoring
You want someone watching sign-ins and alerts every business day after the fixes. Our managed security services page covers that monthly work.
Solo on one laptop
You're a solo lawyer on one laptop with Microsoft 365. Turning on MFA and following your bar's free checklist may be all you need for now.
Need an ethics opinion
You need advice on what your bar rules require in a specific matter. That's a question for ethics counsel or your bar's ethics hotline, not a security firm.
Not sure we're the right fit?

Straight answers on why it matters, the biggest risks, cost, timing, training, and how to judge a security advisor.
Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Because law firms hold two things criminals want: privileged information and client money. ABA Model Rule 1.6(c) asks lawyers to make reasonable efforts against unauthorized access to client information, and corporate clients now check. A single compromised inbox can expose every matter in it and redirect a settlement payment. We're not your ethics counsel, but we make the reasonable efforts visible.
Email is the biggest risk for most firms. Attackers phish one lawyer, quietly add a forwarding rule, and wait for a closing or settlement to send changed wire instructions. MFA, DMARC, and a call-back rule for payment changes close most of that path. Stale accounts for former staff come a close second, because nobody notices them until they're used.
It starts at $750 for firms of up to 15 people. That covers a systems review, MFA on client file logins, DMARC, and a wire call-back rule. Firms of up to 40 people that add matter access reviews and staff training start at $1,900. Multi-office programs for up to 100 people start at $3,850, fixed after a free call.
A review with first fixes takes 1 to 2 weeks for a small firm, and 2 to 4 weeks once training is added. Multi-office programs take 3 to 6 weeks, because policies need partner sign-off and changes roll out office by office. We plan MFA and sign-in changes around your court calendar, so the timeline bends around trials rather than the other way round.
Attorney bios publish names, titles, direct emails, practice areas, and often assistants, which is everything a scammer needs to impersonate a partner convincingly. You don't need to delete them, since they win clients. Instead, set DMARC so your domain can't be spoofed, tag outside mail that uses a lawyer's name, and train assistants to verify unusual requests by phone.
They enforce policies through central identity and device management instead of office-by-office habits. Sign-in rules live in Microsoft Entra ID, laptop settings in Intune, and sharing limits in the document system, so every office gets the same baseline. Exceptions are logged with an owner, and access reviews run on a schedule. Our Multi-Office Program sets up that model for up to 3 offices.
The best solutions are the controls that stop email takeover and wire fraud, not one brand. That means MFA, email filtering with DMARC, endpoint protection, encrypted laptops, tested backups, and tight document permissions. Most law firms' cyber security gaps can be closed with tools already included in Microsoft 365 Business Premium, so we check your licenses before suggesting anything new.
It should cover the scams that actually reach legal staff. Those are changed wire instructions, fake opposing counsel, spoofed court or e-filing notices, fraudulent invoices, and MFA prompts nobody requested. We keep sessions to about 30 minutes, use examples from legal work, and record attendance for your insurer or clients.
Ask for sample deliverables, who will actually do the work, and how the firm handles your confidential data. A good advisor reviews settings without reading client matters, explains findings to partners in plain English, and fixes gaps instead of only listing them. Ask about independence too: whoever sets up your controls shouldn't also be the one auditing them.
Call your cyber insurer's breach hotline before anything else, because the policy may require its panel lawyers and forensics firm. Then preserve evidence, reset passwords from a clean device, and check every mailbox for forwarding rules. If money moved, call your bank at once. Client notice questions go to ethics counsel, and our 30 days of support after handover covers runbook questions.
