IT Leader Q&A

What should IT leaders consider when evaluating legal software?

Prioritize security certifications such as SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, along with vendor transparency around incident response and data handling. Evaluate the integration ecosystem, including API access and pre-built connectors, and assess whether the platform can scale without increasing administrative overhead.

How does cloud-based legal software support security and scalability?

Modern cloud platforms like Clio provide infrastructure that would be difficult and costly to maintain in-house, including automated patching, high availability, geo-redundant backups, and on-demand scalability. They also support secure remote work and continuous updates without disrupting operations.

What security standards matter most for legal technology?

SOC 2 Type II compliance is a baseline for ongoing security controls. ISO 27001 demonstrates mature information security management practices. Firms should also verify encryption standards (AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit), regular third-party penetration testing, and compliance with applicable privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA.

How can legal software integrate with existing firm systems?

Look for platforms with a well-documented API and a broad integration marketplace. Clio integrates with Microsoft 365, QuickBooks, Outlook, DocuSign, and leading accounting platforms. For custom integrations, webhooks and API access allow IT teams to connect proprietary systems and build cross-platform workflows.

What role does AI governance play in adopting legal AI responsibly?

AI governance ensures client data is not used to train public models, controls access to AI features, and establishes review processes for AI-generated outputs. Clio Work allows firms to adopt AI while maintaining professional responsibility and client confidentiality.

How can IT teams balance innovation with compliance and risk management?

Establish a framework that evaluates new tools against security, compliance, and integration requirements. Cloud platforms with centralized administration allow IT teams to enable new capabilities while maintaining visibility, control, and consistent governance.

What factors determine whether legal software can scale with firm growth?

Scalable legal software must support firm growth without increasing risk or administrative overhead. Key factors include a cloud-native architecture that scales users and data seamlessly, centralized identity and access management with SSO and role-based permissions, efficient administration for onboarding and managing large teams, flexible integrations through APIs and pre-built connectors, and consistent performance as usage grows.
