Hero
Louisiana law firms hold sensitive client data and face risks that generic IT shops do not understand. Ransomware can stall court deadlines. A breach can trigger ethics review. A flooded office can take a partner-led practice offline for weeks. Lagniappe IT delivers IT and cybersecurity built for Louisiana law firms, so you can focus on practicing law instead of patching servers.
Who this is for
This is for solo practitioners through mid-sized law firms, typically 1 to 50 attorneys, based in Louisiana. You handle client documents, trust account data, and confidential records. You need IT and security that protect your practice, hold up under regulatory scrutiny, and stand up to the kind of weather that comes through every August.
Pain points specific to Louisiana law firms
- Bar ethics rules require strict client confidentiality. A breach can trigger disciplinary review, not just a remediation cost.
- Ransomware recovery without breaking evidence chain is hard. Most generic IT shops will overwrite logs and artifacts during cleanup that a contested matter would need.
- E-filing reliability is non-negotiable. Court deadlines do not move because your internet is out. You need redundant connectivity and a documented fail-over plan.
- Document retention laws demand auditable, secure storage. Cloud-only is not always sufficient. Long-term, immutable, restorable backups matter.
- Hurricane and flood DR are part of the job, not an exception. A backup strategy that ignores a wet office is no strategy at all.
- Contingency-fee firms cannot easily absorb a six-figure incident-response invoice. Prevention pays for itself once.
What we deliver
- Managed IT helpdesk during business hours (Monday through Friday, 8am to 6pm Central) for day-to-day support, with documented response times.
- Endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every device, so a single infected laptop cannot put client data at risk.
- Managed detection and response (MDR) with 24x7 SOC coverage through our Huntress partnership.
- Microsoft 365 hardening that actually configures conditional access, MFA, audit logging, and safe-link policies, instead of accepting tenant defaults.
- Backup and disaster recovery built to keep your practice running even if your office floods, including option to spin up your environment as a VM in our Mandeville facility on short notice.
- Strategic IT advisory (virtual CTO) so technology decisions are tied to business outcomes, not vendor pitches.
- Incident response runbook drafted before you need it, so the day of a breach you are following a plan instead of improvising.
How we work
We start with a clear assessment of your firm. From there, we build a scoped engagement that fits your size, your stack, and your risk tolerance. You get one point of contact who knows your environment.
- Scoped engagement based on what your firm actually needs, not a tier menu.
- Flat monthly rate after the initial assessment, with no surprise after-hours billing.
- Full client environment isolation. Your data is never on shared infrastructure with another firm.
Why us, in plain terms
We are solo-led but never single-threaded. Huntress provides our 24x7 security operations layer. Our day-to-day operations run on our own internal AI platform, which means less manual toil and more time on your environment. We are based in Mandeville, we know the local market, and we work with Louisiana firms by choice, not by accident.
