Case Study
Legal Firm Streamlines Operations and Achieves Compliance Readiness with Galaxy IT’s Modern IT Overhaul
A fast-growing law firm specializing in high-profile civil litigation and healthcare-related legal work faced mounting pressure to modernize its IT environment. As the demands of post-COVID legal operations shifted and compliance expectations tightened, the firm’s aging infrastructure became a barrier to productivity, client responsiveness, and regulatory peace of mind.
The Challenge
- Frequent service outages caused by outdated, on-premises servers
- Inability to securely support hybrid and remote attorneys
- Overburdened internal IT staff unable to focus on strategic projects
- Security gaps that posed risks under HIPAA and CJIS regulations
- No firm-wide visibility into devices, endpoints, or user access
Without immediate intervention, the firm faced potential audit failures, rising operational costs, and growing attorney frustration.
