You said · IT not keeping up with growth
Industry · Legal
Your IT setup was built for fifteen people, not sixty.
Most small to mid-sized law firms we meet did not plan their IT infrastructure. It grew when the team did. A laptop per new hire, a shared drive for files, a single Xero login, and a cloud storage account for the matter files. It holds together until a new investor asks for a security due diligence report or a client contract demands Essential Eight compliance. The answer to half the questions is usually 'we are not sure'.
What this usually looks like
What outgrowing your IT looks like in a law firm.
The revenue is there. The matters are bigger and more of them. Head office is hiring faster than your IT support can keep up with. Onboarding now takes days of manual account creation. Offboarding leaves licences active for months. The tools that worked at twenty staff are breaking at sixty. Client confidentiality is no longer just a policy. It is a daily operational risk.
Then a client asks for your privacy framework or a lender demands proof of data segregation. You are juggling LEAP, Affinity, or Smokeball with NetDocuments, and the identity layer between them is fraying. AML/CTF Tranche 2 is approaching in 2026. The pressure on trust accounts and PEXA MFA is intensifying. Conveyancing invoice redirection fraud is the top PI claim driver in WA. Your current setup does not stop it.
The work underneath is not glamorous. It is identity, endpoint, backup, and a documentation trail that will survive being looked at by a regulator or an insurer. Done properly once, it scales with the business. Done in a panic the week before a client deadline, it does not.
Where we'd start
What we would do in the first ninety days.
-
Step 01
Secure the identity perimeter
MFA on everything that matters. Endpoints under central management and EDR. Identity lifecycle connected to HR so onboarding and offboarding are automatic. Backups that we have actually restored from, not just scheduled. These controls are non-negotiable for our clients, and they are the same controls your principals are about to ask about.
-
Step 02
Protect trust accounts and data
We map the data flow for conveyancing invoices to stop redirection fraud. We enforce MFA on PEXA and trust account portals. We configure your LEAP or Affinity instance to restrict lateral movement. We ensure legal professional privilege is maintained in the cloud. This is not about fancy tools. It is about stopping the most common claims against PI insurers.
-
Step 03
Build for the next year of growth
Most firms we meet are sized for the matters they were winning eighteen months ago. We look at the hiring plan, the expected project mix, and where the data is going to end up, and we build the platform once so the next hundred headcount does not need a second rebuild.
How we handle security
We hold the security decisions in every environment we run.
Every client we take on runs to a set of controls we set: phish-resistant MFA, allowlisted applications, known vulnerabilities closed inside thirty days, backups that have actually been restored, and access cut the day someone leaves. Where one of those genuinely does not fit how a business works, we agree an alternative in writing rather than let it lapse.
Security and convenience pull against each other, and we would rather have the argument about where the line sits than pretend there isn't one. Some of those arguments end with us changing our mind. What we won't do is wave through a change we think ends in a breach, because we carry that incident with you. If you want a provider who actions every request without asking what it costs you, we're the wrong firm.
-
We set the standard, not the client
Every environment we run meets the same security controls, on every plan. It is not a menu and it is not priced separately.
-
Exceptions are agreed and written down
Where a control genuinely does not fit how a business works, we negotiate an alternative and record what we accepted instead. Nobody has to guess later.
-
We can say no to a change
If a request would leave you exposed, we will say so and we will not action it quietly. Convenience is worth arguing about. A breach is not.
What each plan runs
The full set of controls, and which plan carries which, sits in the plan detail.

“We're on a monthly plan across all four of our sites, two of them interstate. PCs stay healthy, licences current, and the team understand our needs well.”
“Night and day working with CCP. They came in from day one, spent the time to ensure everything was set up and secure properly, and now everything just works. Due to the success we've had with them, we further engaged them to manage our phone systems and website. If you work with CCP you will never have to worry about your IT systems again.”
“We have been using CCP since the early 2000s and have always had great service on our 20-plus PCs and server. We recently moved to a managed service and cannot rate the experience highly enough. Well done Lee and team.”
“Walked through the other quotes we had and explained in detail what services we needed and what we didn't. They came in 50% cheaper. Just good, honest, straight-shooting people.”
“We have been continually impressed with CCP over the several years we have used them. They are extremely efficient, excellent customer service and well priced. I would recommend Lee and his team.”
The qualifier
Let's see if we're a fit.
Seven questions, one moment of your time. We'd rather tell you now than three months in.
