About 60% of law firms partner with a cloud service provider for some or all their IT needs, according to the American Bar Association. Small and midsize law firms specifically see many benefits in working with a cloud service provider, from immediate access to the latest applications and updates and a stable of IT professionals with a wide range of technical expertise to scalability, predictable costs, and enhanced cybersecurity. But the fact is, some law firms benefit more from their relationship with their cloud service provider than others. Here are some ways to ensure you get the most out of your relationship with your cloud provider.

Cybersecurity attacks continue to rise, and law firms of all sizes have become a prime target. According to Coveware, 24.9% of all ransomware attacks in Q1 2021 targeted professional services firms, especially small and midsize law firms.

In this video, John Rock, Partner at DoxAdvisors, sat down with our own Darragh Fitzpatrick to discuss his whitepaper, What's Netflix Got To Do With It? They also cover several topics including cloud-based IT services, the end of working "remotely" and the transition to "mobility," and much more.

In this webinar, our panel discussed how you can have all of the benefits and security of the cloud for everything – your infrastructure, all your applications, and your data.

For the past several years, businesses have turned to cloud to store their data and applications.  More recently, firms are taking it a step further by moving their entire IT infrastructure to the cloud, fully ditching on-premise servers.  Cloud elevates a firm’s security, data accessibility, scalability, and IT flexibility.  Often, firms also realize financial benefits when moving to the cloud because they no longer need to maintain or purchase computers and servers every few years. 

Many firms are evaluating their technology to determine how to be even more productive, regardless of where they are working from. Employees need constant access to their network, applications, and files to work efficiently and best support their clients' needs; however, with increased accessibility comes increased security concerns. Cloud addresses these issues (and many more!), but we know that moving to the cloud is not a decision to be made lightly.  When is the best time for your firm to transition to the cloud?

Cloud is increasingly becoming popular as more companies have noticed the benefits it offers, such as reliability and security. Cloud provides companies flexibility and, when implemented correctly, cloud can increase the efficiency of your business. However, while there are many benefits of the cloud, it also comes with a few risks.

Cyberattacks are not a new phenomenon.  They have become an increasingly large problem for all organizations, and now, businesses are turning to cyber insurance as a means of protection against the aftermath of a cyberattack.

People often ask me what’s on my mind, what I’m working on, and what’s ‘new and exciting.’ Since I’m not big on social media, this is my way of sharing these things a few times a year.
