Managed Services for legal practice computer networks and systems

All modern law firms rely on technology to keep their operations running smoothly and stay ahead of fierce competition. But something as seemingly minor as an Internet outage, an email system problem, or worse – a malware infection resulting in data loss – can quickly deteriorate into a much larger issue, costing you money and lost time.

Our goal is to take care of your IT worries and relieve your staff from the hassle of IT support so you can focus on running the business and winning the cases. Our managed services feature unlimited Helpdesk support and most system problems can be addressed timely without on-site house calls and without additional hourly billing.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for law firms

Unexpected IT incidents can and will bring your business to a halt – whether be a flooding or fire that renders your offices unusable or a client database corrupted by ransomware encryption.  According to National Archives & Records Administration in Washington 93% of companies that lost their data center for 10 days or more during a disaster, filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. Therefore, planning for what to do and how to prepare for those ‘unthinkable’ situations will reduce the amount of downtime your practice can experience.

Kontech can help you devise a business continuity and disaster recovery plan that closely reflects the needs and responsibilities of your organization. By carrying out system audits of your existing IT infrastructure, systems and processes, we can identify weak points, where a breakdowns are likely to occur. Then we prepare corrective action plans in place to avoid or fix any and all problematic aspects of the systems before they become detrimental to your law firm.

For a legal entity the cost of downtime is based on five factors:

• The cost of continuing without the data
• The cost of recreating the data
• The cost of notifying users in the event of a compromise
• Loss of reputation
• Fees incurred during a compliance breach
