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.
