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.

Where the legal bleed starts
Three things we hear on every legal discovery call.
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.
