MFA, endpoint protection, backup, phishing defense, and access controls from day one.
Confirm support for legal tools
Choose a provider that supports your document, practice management, and communication stack.

How to compare law firm IT support providers
Compare providers on whether they understand confidentiality, legal workflows, Microsoft 365 governance, and the business cost of downtime.
Legal workflow fluency
Ask how the provider handles matter files, document management, practice management platforms, remote attorneys, court deadlines, and client confidentiality.
Security included by default
MFA, conditional access, endpoint security, email protection, backup monitoring, and offboarding should be standards, not add-ons.
Clear path to managed IT
Support should mature into a documented IT roadmap. If tickets repeat every month, the provider should fix root causes.
