One data breach. One SRA compliance failure. One hour of downtime during a critical case. The legal sector cannot afford generic IT support. Foxcomm delivers specialist managed IT services designed around the precision, confidentiality, and uptime your firm demands.
What keeps legal IT managers awake
The legal sector faces IT challenges no other industry shares — from SRA regulatory pressure to the catastrophic cost of a breach during active litigation. Generic MSPs simply don't understand these stakes.
The Solicitors Regulation Authority mandates strict data handling, client confidentiality, and cybersecurity standards. Non-compliance risks fines, suspension, and reputational damage. Your IT partner must understand this — not learn it on your time.
Privileged communications, case files, financial settlements — every byte of data you hold is a liability if mishandled. Encryption, access controls, and audit trails aren't optional in the legal sector. They're the minimum.
Court deadlines don't move. A deal doesn't pause. When your case management system goes down at 9pm before a 10am hearing, you need an IT team that responds in minutes — not hours. Foxcomm's 15-minute SLA exists for exactly this moment.
UK law firms handle billions in client funds annually. Cybercriminals know this. Conveyancing fraud, business email compromise, and ransomware attacks on legal practices have surged. Your IT security must be litigation-grade.
From matter management to e-discovery, legal workflows depend on reliable, searchable, version-controlled document systems. Foxcomm integrates document management that is native to how your practice operates.
Partners at home, trainees in coffee shops, clients on personal devices — the attack surface of a modern law firm is vast. Securing remote access without hampering productivity requires expertise, not guesswork.
What we deliver
Every service below is configured specifically for the legal sector — not repurposed from a generic SMB package. We speak SRA, GDPR, and Legal Aid Agency before we speak tech.
Multi-layered defence built around the specific threat profile of UK law firms. We deploy advanced endpoint detection, email threat filtering — the number one attack vector for legal practices — encrypted DNS, and 24/7 dark web monitoring for your firm's credentials.
We maintain continuous alignment with SRA Handbook requirements and ICO expectations. Our compliance team documents your IT posture, supports audit preparation, and ensures your data handling policies are technically enforced — not just written in a folder.
We manage over 400 Microsoft 365 tenants across the UK. For legal practices this means hardened security configurations, information barriers between departments, legal hold capabilities, and seamless integration with your practice management software.
We implement encrypted document management systems that integrate with Clio, LEAP, Actionstep, and SOS. Role-based access, automatic version control, and immutable audit logs — every document interaction is traceable and recoverable.
Your practice doesn't stop at 5pm. Neither do we. Our UK-based helpdesk operates around the clock with a guaranteed 15-minute first response. Legal professionals working late, remotely, or under deadline always have a qualified engineer available.
A ransomware attack during active litigation is a firm-ending event without a tested recovery plan. Foxcomm designs bespoke BCP/DR plans for law firms — including automated offsite backups with sub-4-hour recovery time objectives.
Regulatory expertise
Foxcomm is one of the only MSPs in London with pre-built compliance frameworks for the legal sector — not generic IT policies retrofitted to your industry.
We ensure your IT infrastructure meets SRA expectations for client data protection, conflict of interest systems, and matter management security — documented for regulatory review.
From data mapping and lawful basis documentation to breach notification workflows, we embed GDPR compliance into your IT operations — not just your policy handbook.
We guide law firms through Cyber Essentials certification — a requirement for many Legal Aid contracts and increasingly expected by corporate clients before instruction.
Foxcomm aligns your IT posture to the Law Society's guidance on cloud computing, cyber security, and outsourcing — protecting both your clients and your PI insurance position.
We have direct experience supporting LAA IT security requirements and maintaining audit-ready documentation year-round for legal aid practices.

“Before Foxcomm, we had no documented incident response plan, our M365 tenant had no information barriers, and our DR plan had never been tested. They fixed all three in 60 days. We passed our Cyber Essentials Plus audit first attempt.”
