Law Firm IT SupportClio. iManage. NetDocuments.
ABA 1.1 & 1.6. Matter Files Secured.

Our IT support for law firms includes practice management platform support (Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, Filevine, Rocket Matter), document management system support (iManage Work, NetDocuments, Worldox), time and billing platform support (Tabs3, PCLaw, TimeSolv), matter file access controls and data loss prevention, ABA Rules 1.1 and 1.6-aligned cybersecurity program, law firm ransomware defense, 24/7 NOC and SOC monitoring, endpoint security and EDR, email security, backup and disaster recovery, and on-site support across NJ, NY & CT — all under one flat monthly rate per user with no per-ticket billing.

ABA Model Rule 1.1 (Competence) requires lawyers to keep abreast of changes in the law and its practice, including the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. ABA formal opinions have made clear this includes understanding the cybersecurity risks of the technology systems attorneys use to store and transmit client information. ABA Model Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality) requires lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent the inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure of client information — which the ABA has interpreted to include implementing reasonable cybersecurity measures. Taken together, these rules impose an obligation to have and maintain a technology security program that a reasonable attorney would recognize as appropriate for protecting client data. Gradius builds IT programs for law firms that satisfy this standard and documents the firm's security posture in a way that supports professional responsibility compliance.

Yes. We support the major practice management, document management, and time and billing platforms used by law firms — Clio (including Clio Manage and Clio Grow), MyCase, PracticePanther, Smokeball, Filevine, and Rocket Matter for practice management; iManage Work (both cloud and on-premise), NetDocuments, and Worldox for document management; Tabs3, PCLaw, and TimeSolv for time and billing. We understand how these platforms integrate with Microsoft 365, email archiving, court filing systems, and remote access — and we troubleshoot legal software issues with the operational and professional context of a law firm.

Very serious and well-documented. The ABA's annual Legal Technology Survey has consistently reported that a significant percentage of law firms across all sizes have experienced a security breach. Law firms are attractive ransomware targets because they hold highly sensitive client data — privileged communications, litigation strategy, confidential business information, and personal data — and the combination of professional deadline pressure and confidentiality obligations creates significant incentive to pay quickly. Business email compromise targeting trust accounts and wire transfers is another documented threat. The ABA has issued multiple formal opinions on attorney cybersecurity obligations, and state bar associations in NJ, NY, and CT have issued guidance consistent with those obligations. Gradius implements the layered defenses required to protect law firm environments against both ransomware and targeted attacks.

Most law firms are fully onboarded within 1–2 weeks. Our engineers handle the complete transition — auditing practice management and DMS infrastructure, deploying monitoring and security agents, configuring access controls for matter files, and meeting with the managing partner and firm administrator — without disrupting active matter work or client-facing deadlines. We structure the onboarding around the firm's court calendar and avoid configuring systems during periods when key matters are in active trial or pre-trial preparation.

No long-term lock-ins. We offer month-to-month and annual agreements — your choice. Law firms stay with Gradius because practice management and DMS platforms run reliably, matter files are secured at the professional standard ABA rules require, and IT stops being a source of operational or ethics risk for the firm. We earn the renewal every month through performance.
