Infrastructure built for confidentiality and continuity.
Legal and Professional Services and Synapse
Synapse works with law firms and professional services businesses to provide infrastructure, private and public cloud, and data protection, built around the confidentiality duties, continuity obligations and cost discipline that partnerships carry. Every workload sits in the environment that suits it, on the Synapse Adaptive Cloud platform, with one team accountable for the result.
We understand your industry
Law firms hold information protected by professional duty and legal privilege, on estates that have usually grown in stages across offices, mergers and successive IT decisions. Confidentiality, resilience, fee-earner availability and partner scrutiny of cost all have to be managed together.
-
Confidentiality that extends to your supply chain
The duty to keep client affairs confidential applies to information held by anyone acting for the firm, and it continues after a matter closes. That makes the question of who operates your infrastructure, and under which jurisdiction, a professional obligation as much as a technical one.
-
Continuity when deadlines cannot move
Court dates, completions and filing deadlines carry consequences that a general outage plan does not account for. Recovery needs to be tested, documented and evidenced before it is relied on.
-
Estate that have grown in layers
Most firms run a mixture of on-premises systems, private infrastructure and cloud added at different times for different reasons. As the estate spreads, ownership blurs, cost becomes harder to explain and modernisation feels riskier than standing still.
-
Cost that partners will question
In a partnership, infrastructure spend comes directly out of distributable profit. Multi-year commitments have to hold up under scrutiny at every review, not just at signature.
