Attorney-client privilege on a foreign server?
Law firms handle the most sensitive data in the economy. Client files, privileged communications, pending deals, evidence. Every SaaS vendor adds to your privileged-communication exposure and your POPIA surface. Self-hosted stacks keep it all in-house.
Three pains specific to legal.
Document management on foreign SaaS
Case files, contracts, and briefs sitting on vendors you can't audit. LPC practice rules expect you to know where client documents live.
Per-matter billing software overhead
Practice management subscriptions are among the priciest per-seat SaaS in the economy.
E-signature and authentication costs
DocuSign and similar charge per envelope or per seat. Self-hosted alternatives (Documenso, LibreSign) remove the per-signature tax.

What we do for legal
Savings is just the start.
Legalfirms also come to us for the security, compliance, and build work that goes with the stack swap. Here's what that usually looks like.
The things your sector cares about.
Attorney-client privilege
Self-hosting eliminates the third-party custody question. Your Nextcloud, your server, your control.

Granular permissioning so conflict walls actually hold. Unlimited users means no shortcuts.
Free audit. No pitch.
A 30-minute call. We look at your current stack, your headcount, your compliance posture. You get a written assessment with exact Rand numbers. You decide from there.
