Technology that protects privilege and never misses a deadline
Your clients trust you with their most sensitive matters. Your IT must earn that same trust.
One82 partners with law firms across the Bay Area to deliver IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and compliance services that protect attorney-client privilege, enforce ethical walls, and ensure your systems never fail when deadlines are on the line.
One82 has supported law firms in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1999, building deep familiarity with the legal technology stack attorneys depend on — iManage, Clio, MyCase, NetDocuments, and Relativity — and the ethical obligations that govern how those systems must be managed. The California State Bar's technology competence requirements, ABA Model Rules 1.1 and 1.6, and the professional duty to maintain privilege and confidentiality are not abstract concepts for One82. They are the compliance framework our engineers work within every time they configure a law firm's infrastructure, provision a new associate's access, or implement an ethical wall between matters.
The cybersecurity risk facing law firms is real and growing. According to the ABA's 2023 Legal Technology Survey, 29% of law firms reported having experienced a security breach at some point. The IBM/Ponemon 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report found that professional services breach costs average $4.88 million. And the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers reported that 79% of cyber insurance carriers tightened their security requirements in 2023 — meaning law firms that cannot demonstrate adequate controls face coverage denials or prohibitive premiums.
Privileged communications and confidential client data require a level of access control, encryption, and audit logging that generic IT providers rarely deliver. One82 structures law firm IT environments specifically to protect attorney-client privilege — enforcing role-based permissions, monitoring for unauthorized data movement, and maintaining the documentation your firm would need in the event of a bar complaint or client inquiry. One82 serves as the IT partner that understands the intersection of legal ethics and cybersecurity because that intersection is where law firms are most exposed.
IT challenges law firms face every day
Client Privilege Is Non-Negotiable
Attorney-client privilege extends to your technology. A data breach doesn't just expose information — it can waive privilege, trigger bar complaints, and create malpractice liability.
Court Deadlines Don't Wait for IT Issues
Missing a filing deadline because your email server crashed or your document management system froze can mean sanctions, malpractice claims, or lost cases. Your IT must be as reliable as your legal work.
Ethical Walls Must Be Technology-Enforced
When your firm handles matters with conflicting interests, you need technology-enforced ethical walls — not just policies. Your IT provider must understand how to implement and audit information barriers.
State Bar Technology Requirements Are Increasing
Most state bars now require attorneys to be competent in the technology they use to serve clients. California Rule 1.1 Comment 8 and ABA Model Rule 1.6 require reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access.
Regulatory requirements we help you meet
Your firm operates in a regulated environment. We understand the rules — and we make sure your technology complies.

Law firms handling protected health information in healthcare litigation or ERISA matters must comply with HIPAA security and privacy requirements.
