Why this checklist matters

Choosing a Managed IT Service Provider is a critical decision for any solicitor firm.

Beyond day-to-day efficiency, the right provider must protect client confidentiality, reduce regulatory risk, and support the smooth running of your practice across all departments – from conveyancing and family law, to litigation, employment, and corporate services.

Our IT RFP Checklist for Solicitor Firms is designed to give senior partners, practice managers and operations teams a structured framework to evaluate potential providers for an IT support solution for law firms.

What the checklist covers

The document brings together requirements drawn from:

  • Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) standards

  • Law Society best practice guidance on cybersecurity and IT risk management

  • Lexcel practice management standard (optional accreditation)

  • General good practice IT requirements for successful solicitor firms

It addresses areas such as:

  • IT service delivery and change management

  • Business continuity and disaster recovery

  • Cybersecurity controls (MFA, phishing protection, penetration testing)

  • Client and case management system security

  • Governance, reporting, and supplier oversight

  • Best practice in day-to-day IT operations for growing law firms

Who this is for

This checklist is particularly relevant to solicitor firms of 50–250 users, including those with dedicated practice areas in:

  • Conveyancing

  • Litigation

  • Family law

  • Employment law

  • Corporate and commercial law

  • Private client and probate

  • Criminal law

Whether your firm already holds Lexcel accreditation, is considering Cyber Essentials certification, or is simply looking to modernise its IT operations, the checklist offers a practical, compliance-aligned resource.
