The Technology Struggles Facing Legal Practices

Common IT Challenges for Law Firms

Data Breaches

Law firms are prime targets for cybercriminals because of the sensitive legal data they store. Phishing, ransomware, and insider threats put client trust and firm reputation at risk.

Compliance & Confidentiality

Attorneys must safeguard client confidentiality while meeting compliance requirements such as ABA guidelines, HIPAA (for certain cases), and state bar regulations. Weak IT policies can lead to violations.

Remote & Mobile Access

Lawyers often work on the go—at court, from home, or on mobile devices. Without secure remote access and document sharing, productivity and data security both suffer.

Limited IT Resources

Most firms lack dedicated IT staff to manage cybersecurity, compliance, and technology strategy. This leaves firms vulnerable to downtime and compliance failures.
