An IT Support Blog from London

London's legal sector is extremely competitive, which means companies need every edge that they can get. Technology can be one of those critical advantages, functioning not just as a day-to-day support function but working to speed up legal work and to help ensure that legal advice is as sharp as can be.

Besides, law firms, from small practices to large corporate entities, face a unique set of challenges. These include safeguarding highly sensitive client data from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, ensuring compliance with strict regulatory frameworks like GDPR and SRA regulations, and managing a growing volume of digital case files and communications.

Getting the right-fit IT support for legal firms in place requires expertise and for many firms, it simply isn’t realistic to recruit and retain an extensive in-house IT team. This is where a specialist IT support solutions provider with law firm know-how becomes an essential partner.

An increased compliance burden

The issue of increased regulation is a challenge to many businesses. The regulatory burden has been increasing; indeed, in stark contrast with the public sector slashing budgets, the powers and capability of quango executive agencies seem to have expanded.

The legal profession and exemplary compliance practice for data

HTL Support specialises in providing technology solutions for the professional services sector. Perhaps above all others, the legal profession needs to demonstrate exemplary practice. Poor practice may have very serious consequences measured in a currency that exceeds the value of mere money.
