Microsoft 365 for Law Firms
Microsoft 365 moves, management and security for law firms, set up for confidential client work, secure document sharing and attorneys who work from anywhere.
Microsoft 365 Set Up for How Law Firms Work
Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) runs most of a modern law firm: Outlook email and calendars, Teams, client documents in SharePoint and OneDrive, and the Word and Excel files attorneys use every day. Set up well, it keeps client information secure and lets attorneys work from the office, from home or from court. Set up poorly, it can expose privileged information or leave the firm one stolen password away from a breach.
Microsoft 365 is one of our biggest specialties. We move law firms to Microsoft 365, then manage, secure and support it every day, so attorneys and staff have one team to call for email, Teams, files and accounts.
Because we work only with law firms, we set up Microsoft 365 around client confidentiality, matter files and the security questions clients and cyber insurers ask. Microsoft 365 management is also part of our managed IT services for law firms.

We plan each move around your firm's schedule and court deadlines. We review your current email, files and devices, move data in stages, check access for every attorney and staff member, and stay close by in the first days after the switch.
Microsoft 365 Questions From Law Firms
Is Microsoft 365 secure enough for confidential client information?
It can be, when it is set up correctly. Multi-factor authentication, email protection and controlled external sharing make a large difference. We set up and document these settings so your firm can show clients and insurers how their information is protected.
Can you move our email and files to Microsoft 365?
Yes. We move email from older Exchange servers and other email providers, and files from local servers to SharePoint and OneDrive, with a plan built around your firm's deadlines.
Is Office 365 the same as Microsoft 365?
Mostly. In 2020 Microsoft renamed its Office 365 plans for small and mid-size businesses to Microsoft 365, so many firms still use both names. We support the same email, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive and Office apps either way.
Is Microsoft 365 support included in your managed IT services?
Yes. Day-to-day Microsoft 365 management and user support are part of our managed IT services for law firms.
