Law firms are the most targeted businesses
for wire fraud in America.
Your firm handles trust accounts, client funds, real estate closings, and sensitive communications — everything an attacker needs to commit fraud. We protect law firms specifically. Not generic IT security. Cybersecurity built around how law firms get attacked.
Your firm is a high-value target by design.
Attackers do not pick law firms at random. They target them because of what law firms hold and how they operate. Understanding why you are targeted is the first step to protecting against it.
Real Estate Closings
Wire transfers for closings are high-value, time-pressured, and conducted almost entirely over email. Attackers intercept the conversation, replace the wiring instructions, and are gone before the buyer realizes the money went to the wrong account. A single closing can represent six to seven figures of client funds.
Trust Accounts
IOLTA accounts and client trust funds are a direct target. A compromised mailbox gives an attacker visibility into which funds are held, when disbursements are scheduled, and who the right people are to impersonate in a fraudulent request. Bar association rules make the exposure worse — attorneys can face personal liability.
Client Confidentiality
Privileged communications, settlement negotiations, litigation strategy, and client financial data are all stored in your Microsoft 365 environment. A breach does not just cost money. It can trigger breach notification obligations, malpractice exposure, and bar discipline if client data is compromised.
Trusted Relationships
Law firms operate on trust with clients, opposing counsel, banks, and title companies. Attackers exploit those relationships by impersonating attorneys, partners, and staff in ways that are hard to detect. Your reputation is the practice. One successful BEC attack can destroy client relationships that took years to build.
Time Pressure
Closings, settlements, and court deadlines create urgency that attackers deliberately exploit. When a closing is scheduled for tomorrow and wire instructions change this afternoon, partners and staff do not always have time to verify through a separate channel. The urgency is part of the attack.
Microsoft 365 Gaps
Most law firm Microsoft 365 environments were set up quickly by an IT provider and never hardened for security. Legacy authentication still enabled, too many global admins, no inbox rule monitoring, no audit logging. These are the exact gaps attackers look for when targeting professional services firms.
$7 million wire fraud attempt. 23-day intrusion. Contained the same day.
This is a real engagement. A Connecticut law firm called us after a business partner flagged a suspicious wire transfer request. What we found when we got inside was worse than anyone expected.
Three ways we protect your firm.
Active Incident Response
If something is happening right now — a compromised account, a suspicious wire request, a phishing click — call us. We contain it fast, investigate the full scope, and secure the environment the same day.
- Account takeover containment
- Business email compromise response
- Wire fraud investigation
- Mailbox forensics and rule removal
- Executive incident briefing
Microsoft 365 Security Review
Before an incident forces the question, find out exactly where your firm is exposed. We review your entire Microsoft 365 environment and deliver a written report with prioritized remediation steps.
- Identity and access gap review
- Inbox rule and forwarding audit
- Conditional access assessment
- Privileged account review
- Written report and briefing
Managed Detection and Response
Continuous monitoring of your Microsoft 365 environment, identities, and endpoints. If something suspicious happens, we see it and respond — not a helpdesk, not a ticket queue, not next business day.
- 24/7 identity threat monitoring
- Inbox rule and sign-in alerting
- Endpoint detection coverage
- Phishing simulation and training
- Direct engineer escalation
Not a managed IT company. A dedicated cybersecurity practice.
Already have an IT provider or MSP? We are not a replacement. We are the security layer most IT companies do not provide. When an incident happens, your IT team focuses on keeping systems running. We focus on containment, forensics, and making sure the attacker is actually gone — not just the password reset and close the ticket.
Trusted by Firms That Cannot Afford to Get It Wrong.
Firms that handle client money, sensitive data, and high-stakes transactions.
We had a situation where a partner's email account was accessed without authorization over a weekend. Eric was reachable within the hour, walked us through exactly what happened, and had the account secured before Monday morning. For a firm handling active litigation, that kind of response time is not optional. It is essential.
After a phishing incident that nearly compromised a client wire transfer, we needed someone who understood both the technical side and the urgency. Eric contained it fast, explained every step clearly, and helped us put the right controls in place so it would not happen again. I would recommend him to any firm that takes client trust seriously.
Is your firm protected against wire fraud?
Most law firms are not. A 30-minute free consultation will show you exactly where your exposure is — before an attacker finds it first.
