IT that treats every file like it's privileged. Because it is.
Purplo provides managed IT for small and mid-size law firms across Greater Vancouver. Confidentiality-first security, support that respects billable time, and systems that never make a lawyer wait on a document.
A breach at a law firm isn't an IT incident. It's a professional conduct issue.
- Solicitor-client privilege doesn't survive careless email, unencrypted laptops, or shared logins.
- Trust-account fraud increasingly starts with a compromised inbox and a convincing wire redirect.
- Opposing counsel's deadline doesn't move because your document management system is down.
- Cyber insurers now ask lawyers pointed questions — MFA, EDR, tested backups — and decline firms that answer vaguely.
- Departing lawyers and staff need access revoked the same hour, across every system, and someone has to prove it happened.
Built around how a firm practices.
Confidentiality by architecture
Matter-level access controls, encrypted devices and email, secure client file exchange, and audit trails — designed to support your obligations under the BC Code, not bolted on after.
Practice & document systems
We keep the environment under your practice management, document management, and legal accounting software fast and stable, and take vendor coordination off your plate.
Anti-fraud controls
Email authentication, wire-instruction verification workflows, finance-team phishing training, and alerts on the mailbox rules attackers plant before they strike.
Continuity for deadlines
Datto-backed backup and disaster recovery with documented restore times, tested quarterly — so a ransomware event or a flooded server room doesn't cost you a limitation date.
Asked by managing partners.
Do you understand the Law Society of BC's technology expectations?
Yes. We design controls around solicitor-client privilege: encryption, need-to-know access per matter, secure file exchange, and retention that supports your professional obligations.
Can you support our practice management and document systems?
Yes. We support the environments those systems run on and coordinate directly with the software vendors, so your staff never sit between two support desks pointing at each other.
What does switching look like for a firm in the middle of active matters?
Zero-disruption by design: we shadow your current setup first, migrate in planned evening and weekend windows, and never take a system offline during business hours without partner sign-off.
Do you offer after-hours support?
Our systems are monitored around the clock, and urgent-response coverage for evenings and weekends is included in the Complete plan — because closings and hearings don't keep office hours.
