IT that respects privilege
Law firms, barristers' chambers and accountancy practices hold some of the most sensitive information their clients will ever share. We build managed IT that protects legal professional privilege, keeps matter data secure and evidences the SRA and Lexcel expectations you are held to, so confidentiality is a property of your systems rather than a promise.
Compliance we build to
- SRA accounts and data expectations
- Legal professional privilege
- Lexcel
- Cyber Essentials Plus
The pressure you are under
What keeps this sector up at night
The stakes are specific. We build the stack around the risks that actually matter to your operation.
Confidentiality is a duty, not a preference
Legal professional privilege and client confidentiality mean a single exposed matter file is a professional failing. Access has to be controlled and provable at all times.
The SRA expects safe accounts and data
The Solicitors Regulation Authority holds you accountable for client money and client information alike. Weak IT controls turn a routine audit into a reportable concern.
Conveyancing fraud targets your inbox
Business email compromise and diverted completion funds are aimed squarely at legal practices. One spoofed instruction can cost a client their deposit and you your standing.
Ransomware locks up live matters
An encrypted case management system does not just stop work, it threatens court deadlines and client outcomes. Recovery has to be tested, not assumed.
Deadlines do not move for downtime
Court filings, completion dates and statutory limits are fixed. When your document or case system is down, the clock keeps running and the cost lands on the client.
Partners are personally accountable
Compliance officers and partners answer for how the practice handles data. They need clear evidence that controls are working, not reassurance that they probably are.
Our approach
Built for your operating reality
We start with the duty of confidentiality and design the estate to defend it. Access to matter data is controlled by role and logged, document and case management systems are hardened and backed up, and email is defended against the business email compromise and conveyancing fraud aimed at legal practices. Backups are tested against real recovery times so a ransomware incident does not put court deadlines at risk. Everything is run to evidence the SRA account and data expectations and the Lexcel practice management standard, so a review or an audit finds an organised trail rather than a scramble. Your compliance officer sees the controls working, and Bebco is documented as a managed provider throughout.
