Microsoft 365 for law firms, set up for confidential work
Microsoft 365 for law firms is where client email, drafts, and calls live. Out of the box, it is built for general business. A firm needs it tightened for privileged work.
What’s included
What we set up in Microsoft 365 for law firms:
- MFA on every account, including partners and admins
- Admin rights limited to the people who need them
- Sharing rules for SharePoint and OneDrive, so files do not leave by link
- Email protection against phishing and lookalike domains
- Retention and litigation hold settings, set with your counsel
- Encrypted email for messages that carry client information
- Clean onboarding and offboarding for staff and contractors
How we start
- A review of the current tenant, users, and admin roles
- Turn on MFA and close the riskiest settings first
- Set sharing, retention, and email protection
- Train staff on the few habits that matter
Search, holds, and e-discovery
Matters end in requests for documents. Microsoft 365 includes eDiscovery tools in Microsoft Purview that can search mail and files and place holds, depending on the license. We set them up so the firm can find and keep what it needs. What to keep, and for how long, is a call for your attorneys.
Teams and client calls
Teams meetings with outside parties should use lobbies and guest settings that fit the matter. We set sensible defaults so a privileged call is not one wrong link away from an open room.
FAQ
Can you migrate our email to Microsoft 365?

Do you support Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive?
Yes, along with Outlook, plus onboarding and offboarding when staff change.
Is Microsoft 365 for law firms secure enough for client data?
