Already a client? Remote Support.
IT support for law firms starts with protecting client information
Lawyers have a professional duty to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to client information. The ABA Model Rule 1.6 spells out that duty, and it is why IT support for law firms has to be about more than fixing printers.
What reasonable efforts look like in IT support for law firms
- Multi-factor sign-in on email, document management, and remote access.
- Encrypted laptops and phones so a lost device is an inconvenience, not a disclosure.
- Access that matches the matter — staff see the files they need and nothing else.
- Tested backups so a ransomware attack or failed server does not erase years of work product.
- Staff awareness about wire-fraud and phishing emails that target firms handling settlements and trust accounts.
Cybersecurity and backup services are scoped in your assessment. We explain what each control does in plain language so partners can make an informed decision, and we document it so you can answer client security questionnaires.
Law firm IT support that respects billable hours
Every minute an attorney spends fighting technology is a minute that cannot be billed. Our job is to make those minutes rare.
Court-deadline aware
IT support for law firms has to understand deadlines. Tell us when a filing is due and we treat the issue that way. Our 24/7 helpdesk means late-night brief work is not stranded.
Practice software
We work with the vendors behind your case management, billing, and document systems, so your staff are not stuck between two support desks.
Remote and courtroom work
Secure laptops, reliable remote access, and phones that ring wherever an attorney is working, whether that is the office, home, or the courthouse.
Onboarding and offboarding
New associates are ready on day one. When someone leaves, access to client files is closed the same day.
TANET has provided IT support for law firms and other professional offices since 2006, on flat-rate plans with no sales team. Firms in Seattle, Portland, and Boise can compare our local Seattle managed IT services, Portland, and Boise teams, or read more about managed cybersecurity. The first step is a free assessment.
Questions to ask before you choose IT support for law firms
Managing partners and office administrators often inherit an IT relationship rather than choose one. If you are reviewing yours, these questions help.
- Who picks up the phone? — good IT support for law firms connects you with a technician quickly, including after hours.
- Can someone come to the office? — remote fixes are fast, but conference room displays, printers, and network gear sometimes need a local tech on site.
- What happens when someone leaves? — ask how quickly access to email, files, and practice systems is shut off.
- How are backups tested? — a backup nobody has restored is a hope, not a plan.
- Is the price predictable? — flat-rate IT support for law firms avoids hourly bills that punish you for asking questions.
- Will they explain decisions? — partners should understand the risks they are accepting, in plain language.
Solo practices, small partnerships, and multi-office firms all get the same approach. Only the checklist grows.

Law firm IT support questions
Is your helpdesk available outside of business hours?
Yes. Our helpdesk is staffed 24/7, and your staff talk directly to a technician — we do not have a sales team in between.
What does IT support for our law office cost each month?
We work on a flat-rate monthly plan that covers ongoing support, cybersecurity, and backups, so there are no surprise invoices.
Do you have local technicians who can come on site?
Yes. We have local technicians in our service areas. For immediate help, start a remote session at tanet.screenconnect.com or call 206.501.4337 (WA), 503.488.5437 (OR) or 208.609.4733 (ID).
Can you help us move to a new practice management system?
Yes. We help firms navigate practice management changes with attention to security, integrations, remote-user risk, and operational efficiency — not just the install day.
How do you protect firm data for remote attorneys?
MFA, secure storage access, encryption, secure backups, VPN hygiene, and awareness around social engineering, insecure connections, malware, and data leakage risks.
What should IT support for law firms cover?
Helpdesk and on-site support, secure remote access, Microsoft 365, practice software coordination, and onboarding and offboarding. Security and backup controls are scoped in the assessment to match your firm and your clients’ expectations.
Can you help us answer client security questionnaires?
Yes. We document the controls we manage for you so you can answer the security questions corporate and insurance clients increasingly send to outside counsel.
Do you offer IT support for law firms in Portland and Boise?
Yes. Local technicians support firms across Greater Puget Sound, the Portland metro, and the Treasure Valley. Call 206.501.4337 (WA), 503.488.5437 (OR), or 208.609.4733 (ID).
How long does it take to switch IT providers?
Most firms move over within a few weeks. We collect credentials and vendor contacts, install monitoring after hours, and keep your current provider in place until the handover is confirmed.
