Law Firm Business Continuity & Disaster Planning

A successful law firm was losing new clients because it had no BCDR plan. SIB migrated mission-critical applications to the cloud and built a comprehensive BCDR strategy for every possible scenario.

When the Absence of a BCDR Plan Costs New Clients

A successful law firm couldn't sign on new clients due to the absence of a BCDR component in their offerings — a crucial requirement especially during COVID-19 when most law firms were operating online. Legal companies deal with a great deal of confidential data that, when exchanged online, needs to be doubly safeguarded against theft or compromise. This shortcoming was a major impediment to acquiring new customers and expanding business prospects.

The firm enlisted the services of Stay In Business — one of the premium BCDR solutions providers in the world, with a longstanding track record serving diverse law firms across different legal domains. SIB migrated all applications to the cloud, documented all BCDR tasks, and designed comprehensive implementation strategies for every possible scenario.

  • Mission-critical applications migrated to the cloud
  • All BCDR tasks detailed and documented comprehensively
  • Operational tasks mapped to their IT equivalents
  • Rigorous testing drills identify and close shortcomings
The Challenge
New Clients Lost to No BCDR

The law firm couldn't sign new clients because it lacked a BCDR component — a requirement that became non-negotiable during COVID-19 when firms operated entirely online

Confidential Data at Risk

Legal firms handle highly confidential data exchanged online — requiring double protection against theft or compromise that informal arrangements cannot provide

No BCDR Expertise In-House

The firm needed a comprehensive BCDR plan but lacked the experience or expertise to develop a BCDR module on their own — requiring a specialized external partner

Challenge, Requirement & Solution

SIB's comprehensive BCDR approach gave the law firm cloud-migrated applications, fully documented recovery tasks, operational-to-IT task mapping, and rigorously tested plans covering every disruption scenario.

The Challenge

The law firm couldn't sign new clients without a BCDR plan — especially during COVID-19 when legal firms operated entirely online. Legal companies deal with extensive confidential data that must be doubly safeguarded when exchanged online. This gap was a major impediment to client acquisition and business growth.

  • No BCDR plan — new clients could not be signed
  • COVID-19 made online BCDR a client prerequisite
  • Confidential data required double online protection

The Requirement

The firm needed a comprehensive BCDR plan per client requirements — but lacked the experience or expertise to build one in-house. They enlisted Stay In Business, which has a longstanding track record serving diverse law firms in different legal domains, helping them fortify business processes against operational glitches and inefficiencies.

  • Comprehensive BCDR plan as per client needs
  • No in-house BCDR expertise — external partner required
  • SIB has proven track record with law firms

Cloud Migration & Documentation

SIB assisted the law firm in migrating all applications — especially mission-critical ones — to the cloud, and provided detailed documentation for all BCDR tasks. All operational tasks were tenaciously mapped to their IT equivalents, creating a clear connection between business process continuity and IT recovery actions.

  • Mission-critical apps migrated to the cloud
  • Detailed documentation for all BCDR tasks
  • Operational tasks mapped to IT equivalents

Testing & Scenario Planning

Rigorous testing drills were designed and scheduled to be implemented periodically — identifying shortcomings in the existing system that needed upgrading. Detailed BCDR implementation strategies were developed for all possible scenarios, ensuring the firm is prepared for any disruption regardless of its nature or severity.

  • Periodic testing drills identify system shortcomings
  • Strategies designed for all possible scenarios
  • Ongoing improvement cycle built into the plan
