IT your partners can trust.
Client files, court deadlines, and privilege: protected by a team that has supported LA law firms for more than 25 years. Some of our firm relationships have outlasted the associates who started them.
What your firm gets.
Confidentiality first
Encryption at rest and in transit, least-privilege access, and documentation your partners (and your clients) can review.
Deadline-proof support
Real engineers with a 15-minute average response during business hours, and a 24/7 SOC watching your endpoints while the office sleeps.
Practice software, handled
Case management, document management, and mixed Mac/Windows environments, all managed under one plan.
Compliance & cyber insurance
SOC 2-aligned practices and the documentation underwriters ask for, before they ask for it.
Email that can’t be spoofed
Business email compromise is the top threat to firms. We watch for it tirelessly. Targeted attack prevention is a primary focus.
Growth without friction
New associates onboarded before their first day, and innovative ideas that help your productivity and growth.
Your ethics duties now cover AI.
ABA Formal Opinion 512 says the rules you already follow apply to generative AI, and the State Bar of California's guidance points the same way. In plain English: you're responsible for what AI does with client confidences, you have to supervise it, and you need to be able to show that you did.
Confidences stay in approved tools
We vet every AI tool for whether it trains on your data, how long it keeps it and who at the vendor can see it, then set up your accounts so client material only goes where your policy allows.
Someone checks the work, on the record
A simple review record for AI-assisted drafts and summaries, so supervision is something your firm can show, not just say.
Ready answers when they ask
Outside counsel guidelines, studio security questionnaires and insurance applications now ask how you use AI. We help you answer them accurately and quickly.
Entertainment law firm? We already do this for a Beverly Hills entertainment law firm, alongside its ethics counsel, where talent agreements and unreleased projects can't end up in a public chatbot. We handle the technical side; your ethics counsel decides.
Thomson Reuters' 2026 research puts numbers on what we see in practice: unapproved AI tools, client expectations rising, and most firms not showing value yet. We put the key findings, and what to do about them, on one page.
What law firms ask us.
What cybersecurity protections should a Los Angeles law firm have?
At minimum: endpoint detection and response (EDR) watched by a 24/7 security operations center, email security tuned for business email compromise, encrypted backups with tested restores, security awareness training, and documentation that satisfies clients and cyber-insurance underwriters.
Can nicwerks® support iManage and mixed Mac/Windows environments?
Yes. We migrate firms from SharePoint to iManage, provide ongoing iManage support with Threat Manager monitoring, and manage mixed Mac/Windows offices under one flat-rate plan.
How should a law firm evaluate AI tools without exposing client data?
Vet every tool's data handling before anyone pastes client information into it. We security-vet AI tools alongside firm ethics counsel and write acceptable-use policies that protect privilege while capturing the productivity gains.
How fast do you respond when something breaks?
A real, local engineer responds in 15 minutes on average during business hours, and the SOC watches your endpoints around the clock, every day.
Recent work with LA firms.
Security awareness the whole firm actually completes.
SSJ wanted its people trained against the attacks law firms actually see (phishing and business email compromise). nicwerks® rolled out managed security awareness training firm-wide: monthly phishing simulations, short training episodes, recovery training for anyone who clicks, and a monthly report to the partners.
The firm’s standard is 100% participation, and leadership sees exactly where it stands every month.
Firms that stayed.
“Nick is the best. He is always able to fix whatever problem I am having with the computer. Nick has served our law firm for 25 years and we have been very happy with his service.”
“Excellent and reliable service! We’re a nearly fully remote operation and Nick has kept things running smoothly for us. We haven’t had an IT solution Nick can’t handle.”
“Nick Curran is one of the hardest working, dedicated people in any field. If you are fortunate enough to hire him, you will find a true gem.”
