Compliance · Law firms
Trust accounts, privilege, client confidentiality and now AML reporting. Compliance for a law firm is not a single project. It is a standing set of obligations that the IT stack either quietly supports every day, or quietly undermines. We build it so it supports.

What we do on compliance for a law firm starts before the obligations arrive. We map the regulations the firm is captured by (legal profession rules for your state, Privacy Act, AUSTRAC from 2026 for firms providing designated services, cyber insurance requirements that now read like audit checklists) against the stack you actually run. We name the gaps, cost the remediation, and stage the work so the firm can show an auditor a program rather than a panic.
Operationally, the weight sits in three places. Identity and access, so the people with matter access match the people who should have it, and offboarding the same day someone leaves stops being a reminder note. Logging and retention, so when AUSTRAC, a regulator or an insurer asks what happened to a file, there is an answer that stands up. And evidence generation: every control the firm claims to have runs through something we can produce a report from. The firms who treat compliance as a reporting problem pass audits. The firms who treat it as a culture statement fail them.
We write none of your legal documents. We set up the document-management, identity, monitoring, and retention infrastructure the legal and compliance work actually runs on. That boundary is explicit on every engagement: you own the interpretation, we own the machinery.
Where it fits · managed IT engagement
Most of the compliance-supporting controls sit inside the Client Security Baseline, which every CCP client is contractually on. MFA on everything that matters, application control, vulnerability management, backups that have been tested, and offboarding discipline. The CSBO is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a specific regulation needs more (document retention labels for AML, privileged-access logging for trust-account work, audit-grade evidence pipelines for insurer questionnaires), we add it per engagement.
Next step · start with the evidence
The Essential Eight self-assessment takes about ten minutes and gives you a branded PDF report you can hand to your compliance officer, your insurer, or your board the same day. If you want to confirm we're the right shop for the work, the fit check comes next.
