Client obligations
Outside counsel guidelines increasingly require documented incident response and recovery capabilities, and corporate clients audit against them. Your recoverability is part of your fitness to hold the engagement.
Recoverability for Law Firms
Law firms concentrate the most sensitive information their clients possess, from deal terms to litigation strategy, which makes them a priority target for double extortion. When the document management system, email, and time entry go dark, the firm stops practicing law. Fenix24 restores firms to operation and helps them prove, in advance, how fast they could come back.
What an attack does to a firm
Modern threat actors exfiltrate client files before they encrypt anything, so the firm faces two crises at once, an operational shutdown and a client confidentiality breach. Attorneys cannot access matters, court deadlines do not move, and every hour of downtime is unbilled time across the entire fee-earning staff. Meanwhile the firm owes candor to clients about what was taken, and the answer depends on systems that are currently encrypted.

Ethical duties
Duties of competence and client notification apply during a breach. A firm with tested recovery of its DMS, email, and billing platforms has an answer competitors cannot give.

Case Study
Fenix24 recovered top law firm after a critical SaaS vendor was breached
A large U.S. law firm depended on a critical SaaS application hosted in a data center that relied on a third-party software vendor. When that fourth-party vendor was compromised in a ransomware attack that impacted hundreds of organizations, the firm’s data was encrypted and held for a separate ransom.
