Gordon Judge Solicitors

Modernising legal IT with a secure, cloud-first platform

Gordon Judge Solicitors is a respected commercial and corporate law firm in Dublin. With a trusted relationship already established, the firm turned to Right Cloud to modernise its IT environment and transition to a cloud-first infrastructure. The goal was to enhance performance, security, and flexibility while ensuring day-to-day legal operations remained uninterrupted.

The Transformation Journey

We guided Gordon Judge Solicitors through the move from a traditional server-based environment to a secure, scalable cloud-first platform. This journey was more involved than a standard migration, as it included working in tandem with the firm’s case management software provider to support their own transition to the cloud. By coordinating our implementation with third-party systems, we ensured a seamless move that maintained business continuity throughout.

The transformation included:

• Cloud migration for agility: Operations moved into Microsoft 365, with email, calendars, and collaboration tools unified. SharePoint Online streamlined document management, while Intune delivered consistent device governance and patch management.
• Office connectivity: Cloud-managed networking provided a secure and reliable foundation for office operations.
• Communication modernisation: Microsoft Teams Phone replaced traditional landlines with a unified, cloud-first calling solution available on any device.
• Proactive security: SentinelOne Endpoint Detection and Response added intelligent, AI-driven protection against modern cyber threats.
• Data protection: Independent cloud-to-cloud backup continuously protects Microsoft 365 data, monitored and reviewed by Right Cloud to ensure resilience against accidental loss or ransomware.
• Built-in remote access: Through our secure portal, staff gained the ability to access office systems remotely without additional licensing or third-party tools. By including this feature within our per-user monthly subscription, the firm achieved cost savings compared to other providers requiring separate solutions.
• Managed IT services: As their Managed Services Provider and Microsoft Partner, we deliver ongoing monitoring, compliance enforcement, and detailed monthly reporting — ensuring their IT remains secure, transparent, and future-ready.

Gordon Judge Solicitors – Enabling a Digital-First Legal Practice

“Right Cloud has been our trusted IT partner for years. Their forward-thinking approach has helped us modernise, stay secure, and keep pace with the evolving legal landscape.”

  • Gordon Judge Solicitors, a commercial and corporate law firm based in Dublin 2, had relied on traditional server-based systems for years. While this setup served them well initially, they began to experience aging hardware issues and increasing compliance demands. 

    As GDPR regulations came into effect, the firm became concerned about compliance, the risks of unmanaged devices, and the limitations of outdated infrastructure. It was clear that a proactive, modern IT environment was essential to maintain client trust and business continuity.

  • With a long-standing relationship already in place, Right Cloud guided the firm through a seamless transition from legacy systems to a modern, cloud-first infrastructure. Our aim was simple: improve performance, boost flexibility, and tighten security—without disrupting daily legal operations.

  • We implemented a fully integrated cloud and device management platform:

    •  Microsoft 365 – Migrated email, calendar, and documents to the cloud for access on any device.

    •  SharePoint Online – Introduced as a centralised file repository to support team collaboration and document version control.

    •  Microsoft Intune – Enforced device security policies, conditional access, and remote device management.

    •  OneDrive for Business – Enabled secure personal document storage and real-time access, even from home or in court.

    •  Increased productivity – Staff now access everything they need from anywhere

    •  Stronger security posture – Devices are patched, encrypted, and monitored, reducing the risk of data breaches.

    • Improved compliance – GDPR-aligned systems and auditing capabilities provide peace of mind.

    • Reduced IT maintenance – No more struggling with aging hardware or on-site servers.
