Managed IT Services for Calgary Law Firms
Law firms in Calgary carry strict obligations around client confidentiality, matter file security, and professional conduct — and those obligations extend directly to your IT systems. We deliver managed IT built for legal practices: Law Society of Alberta-aligned security controls, Clio and PCLaw support, protection against business email compromise, and the responsive helpdesk service your team needs during active files and urgent client matters.

IT gaps that put client confidentiality and your professional standing at risk
Calgary law firms face professional conduct obligations that reach into IT. Most firms we assess have gaps that would be difficult to defend in front of the Law Society or a client.
- Matter files are on a shared drive with no access controls — any staff member can open any file.
- Lawyers working from home use personal devices with no firm-managed security or encryption.
- Business email compromise is your biggest risk and email security was never hardened beyond basic setup.
- There’s no documented incident response plan for a data breach involving client files.
- Clio or PCLaw integrations with M365 break when updates happen and nobody knows how to fix them quickly.
- Staff departures mean former employees still have access to client matter files for weeks after leaving.

30 minutes. We review your matter file access controls, email security, device management, remote access setup, and Law Society obligation alignment. Honest findings — no obligation.
IT built around lawyer professional obligations, not generic office IT
Legal practice IT requires a higher standard of confidentiality controls, access management, and documentation than most industries. We specialize in exactly that.
Matter File Security & Access Controls
We implement file access controls so lawyers and staff only access the matters they’re assigned to. Access is logged, auditable, and revoked immediately when employment ends or a matter closes.
- Role-based access to matter files
- Immediate access revocation on departure
- File access audit logging
- SharePoint & OneDrive matter structure
Email Security & Anti-Phishing
Business email compromise is the most common way law firms lose client trust and funds. We harden your email environment against impersonation, phishing, and fraud — and train your staff to recognize attacks.
- Microsoft Defender for Office 365
- Anti-spoofing & DMARC/SPF/DKIM
- Phishing simulation & staff training
- Secure email for sensitive client comms
Clio, PCLaw & Legal Software
We manage your practice management software — Clio, PCLaw, or others — including deployment, licensing, M365 integration, and support so your team works without software friction on active files.
- Clio & PCLaw setup and support
- Legal software M365 integration
- Matter management platform migrations
- Document management configuration
Law Society Compliance Documentation
We document your IT security environment to the standard the Law Society of Alberta expects — so if you’re ever reviewed on your data protection practices, you have a defensible, documented posture ready.
- IT security policy documentation
- Breach response procedures
- PIPA & professional conduct alignment
- Annual security posture review
