The Challenge
A 60-attorney international law firm based in Washington DC with offices in London was running an outdated on-premises Exchange server with no encryption, no multi-factor authentication, and limited remote access capabilities. Partners were concerned about client data security and the firm's ability to support hybrid work.
Our Solution
CloudTechForce migrated the firm to Microsoft 365 E5 with advanced security features including Defender for Office 365, sensitivity labels for client matter classification, data loss prevention policies to prevent accidental sharing of privileged information, Conditional Access policies enforcing MFA and compliant devices, and Azure Information Protection for document-level encryption.
Results
Zero-downtime migration completed in 3 weeks
100% MFA adoption across all attorneys and staff
40% improvement in remote work productivity
Client data classified and protected with sensitivity labels
Annual IT support costs reduced by 28%
"The migration was seamless, and the security improvements gave us confidence that we are meeting our ethical obligations to protect client confidentiality. CloudTechForce understood the unique requirements of legal technology."
