For a conveyancing or high-street law firm, managed IT support usually costs between £45 and £100 per user per month. Where you land in that range comes down to how many people you have, how many offices you run, the legal software you use, and how much proactive support and security you need to protect client funds and data.
Conveyancing is deadline-driven and a prime target for fraud, so IT is about much more than fixing problems. The right partner keeps LEAP and your other software running, protects client money and data, and gets you back to work fast. Here’s what you’re paying for.
What drives the price
Number of users and offices
Pricing is per user, so headcount is the starting point, and multiple offices add networking and connectivity needs. It pays to price for where you’ll be in two years.
Legal software
Supporting LEAP, Oyez forms, eSigner, BigHand dictation and your tax and payroll software takes real knowledge. A provider who knows these tools keeps them fast and available, which is worth far more than generic support.
Security
Conveyancers handle large client-account payments and sensitive data, so layered security, including endpoint protection, application allowlisting, MFA and staff training, is a core part of the service and feeds into the monthly figure.
Support level
Proactive monitoring and fast response deliver far better value than waiting for things to break. The cheapest provider is rarely the most cost-effective once downtime and risk are counted.
What’s usually included
- User support for everyday IT, Microsoft 365 and your legal software
- Device management: monitoring, updates and maintenance
- Cyber security management as standard
- Backup of your case files, email and key data
- Vendor coordination with your software and connectivity suppliers
“The problem got sorted before you called, but thank you for calling about it really quickly.”
