🎙️ Why Small Law Firms Can’t Afford to Ignore IT Support in 2025
Featuring Matthew Kaing on The Law Firm Success Group Podcast with Alay Yajnik
“The biggest risk of doing your own IT? You’re not focused on IT—because you’re focused on your clients. And that’s exactly what cybercriminals are counting on.” — Matthew Kaing
💡 Episode Overview
In this high-impact episode, Alay Yajnik, law firm growth expert, sits down with Matthew Kaing, founder of eSudo Technology Solutions, to tackle a growing concern in the legal world: How can small law firms protect their data, keep their systems running, and stay ahead of threats—without overspending?
Whether you’re a solo practitioner or running a 30-person firm, this episode is packed with real-world advice and practical strategies to help you turn IT from a pain point into a competitive advantage.
🧠 What You’ll Learn:
✅ When a Small Law Firm Should Invest in IT Support
If your firm handles sensitive client information (and let’s be honest—what law firm doesn’t?), the question isn’t if you need IT help—it’s how soon. You’re either protecting your data yourself or paying someone else to do it better, faster, and more securely.
✅ Where and How to Protect Client Data
Email, files, and case notes are often scattered across desktops, cloud drives, and mobile devices. Matthew explains how cloud-based solutions and layered security can simplify operations and keep data locked down—even when staff are remote.
✅ What to Expect from a Great IT Provider
From response time to follow-up, you should expect more than someone who just “fixes computers.” A true IT partner helps your law firm reduce downtime, increase billable hours, and stay compliant.
✅ How to Stay Two Steps Ahead of Hackers
Hackers don’t discriminate. In fact, small firms are often easier targets because they lack the security investments of larger firms. Matthew shares how to proactively defend your firm without expensive enterprise tools.
✅ How to Build a Cost-Effective IT Strategy
It doesn’t have to break the bank. Whether you’re hiring your first IT firm or optimizing your current setup, Matthew outlines affordable steps—like keeping a spare laptop or using a wired internet connection—to improve productivity and resilience.
