If you’re a small legal firm that wants to use technology to save time and money, we’re in a better position than ever to help.
We recently partnered with Clio, a leading legal case management software provider.
Like Clio, we serve smaller businesses, particularly those who need cybersecurity or must meet compliance requirements like HIPAA.
Clio says their software can save you up to eight hours a week for billable work. Their case management system can handle client intake, case management, document management, time and expense tracking, billing, online payments, and a whole lot more.
As a managed IT service provider, we have seen how the right software can save companies time and frustration and free them from manual processes.
Cybersecurity for law firms
The American Bar Association says that law firms need to invest in cybersecurity. Law firms are a huge target since they store all kinds of sensitive documents. One firm was recently threatened with a $42 million ransom to keep confidential data from being published.
On our end, we’ve been certified in Department of Defense standards for cybersecurity. We’ve also helped small businesses meet cybersecurity standards for ISO 27001.
Clio uses industry best practices (such as HTTPS and TLS), and the web interface is verified by DigiCert, a trusted certificate authority. Clio complies with GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI. Clio’s data hosting facilities are audited annually for security certifications (such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001).
Bottom line – your documents and data would be safer with us.
Why we like Clio
Here are a few other pluses that we’ve heard about Clio:
- 24/7 customer support
- The interface is simple to use
- Clio offers many integrations with more than 200 other apps, including Microsoft 365, Google Apps, Agile Law, Docket Alarm, Fastcase, Formstack Documents (formerly Webmerge) and Casemail. Check out the full list on Clio’s app directory
- Clio has been around for 15 years
- It’s been listed in the top three legal management software solutions by Finances Online
- You can try it for free
How we can help
As part of this partnership, I’ve gone through the Clio managed product essentials training, so I can give basic guidance on how to use the software. We can also interface with Clio on behalf of a client. If you’re in a small firm and can charge $400 an hour as an attorney, you don’t want to spend an hour on the phone getting support. We can become the IT support that does it for you.
You can book a call with a veteran IT engineer to talk about your IT needs as a law firm. Or you can assess yourself to see how well IT is working for you right now.
