IT renting for law firms
In a law firm, IT has three non-negotiable requirements: real mobility, absolute confidentiality and a cost structure that can be allocated to partners and practice areas. Renting meets all three better than buying.
- Per user a cost you can allocate to a practice area
- Operating expense the rent is fully deductible
- Mobility laptops with on-site warranty
A cost you can allocate
Firms organised by practice area need to allocate costs precisely. A monthly rent per workstation can be allocated directly; the depreciation of equipment bought two and a half years ago is an accounting allocation nobody can explain at a partners' meeting.
It is a management advantage that usually weighs more than the financial difference between buying and renting.
Confidentiality on equipment that is not ours
The objection we always hear: if the equipment belongs to the funder, who guarantees professional secrecy? The answer is that the funder never accesses the content; it owns the asset, not what is on it.
With BitLocker or FileVault active and the key under the firm's control, the contents of the disk are unreadable to third parties. It is a measure the firm takes itself, and we recommend it to every customer in this sector.
- Full-disk encryption enabled when each workstation is prepared
- Laptops with a privacy screen for work in court and on the move
- Fast replacement: a lawyer without a laptop cannot work
Frequently asked questions
Does it make a difference whether we are a law firm or a sole practitioner?
For the financing, what counts is the credit assessment of the contracting entity. Firms with filed accounts have simpler processes; sole practitioners with a registered activity can also sign, sometimes with shorter terms or additional guarantees.
Can we include monitors in the partners' homes?
Yes. Equipment is assigned to users, not to addresses. You just need to keep the inventory up to date, because everything has to be collected at the end of the contract.

Fixed workstations, all-in-ones and mini PCs are still the right choice for counters, receptions, laboratories and production lines.
