Resilient connectivity
Leased lines, FTTP and SIP with SLA-backed uptime keep your practice reachable through exchange deadlines, completion days and busy court diaries.
Recorded communications and audit trails built for legal compliance
Legal practices are held to a high standard of accountability, and the record of what was said and when often matters as much as the advice itself. Use IT Telecoms builds cloud voice on enterprise platforms such as 8x8 and Evonex, giving you secure call recording, tamper-evident audit trails and defined retention policies without the cost or complexity of enterprise infrastructure.
Recordings are encrypted, access is restricted to authorised staff, and every interaction can be searched and retrieved when a complaint, dispute or file review requires it. Combined with GDPR-aware retention controls, this helps you meet SRA expectations on client care while protecting privileged and sensitive information.
- Encrypted call recording with tamper-evident audit logs
- Configurable retention aligned with data protection duties
- Role-based access so only authorised staff hear recordings
- Searchable archive for complaints, disputes and file audits
Matter-based logging, dictation and practice management integration
Fee earners lose billable time when calls and notes are not captured against the right file. Our cloud voice connects to leading case management, practice management and CRM systems, so inbound and outbound calls are logged to the correct client and matter, and screen pops tell your team who is calling before they answer.
The same integration supports dictation and time recording workflows, attaching call notes and audio to the file so nothing is missed at billing. Conveyancing teams handling high volumes and chambers coordinating counsel diaries both benefit from cleaner records and less manual admin.
- Automatic call logging against client and matter references
- Screen pops with caller and matter detail on answer
- Dictation and time recording integration for fee earners
- Reporting on responsiveness, missed calls and call volumes
Secure hybrid working for solicitors, barristers and conveyancers
Legal professionals rarely spend the week at one desk. Court appearances, client site visits and home working are now routine, and clients still expect a prompt, professional response. Our softphone apps give every fee earner the same number, call handling and recording on a laptop or mobile as they have at their desk.
Administrators keep full control. You can add users, adjust call routing for court days and reception cover, and pull reporting in minutes, so your communications scale as the practice grows across one office or several.
- Softphone apps for laptop and mobile with consistent recording
- Time-based and holiday routing for court and out-of-hours cover
- Secure client portals and messaging for confidential contact
- Central administration and reporting across multiple offices
Frequently asked questions
Can you provide call recording for a law firm?
Yes. Our cloud voice platforms record client and counterparty calls with encrypted storage, tamper-evident audit trails and controlled retention. Access is restricted to authorised staff, and recordings can be searched and retrieved for complaints handling, disputes and file reviews.
Is your telecoms setup suitable for SRA and GDPR compliance?
Our systems are designed to support your regulatory duties. Call recording, retention and access controls help evidence client care and accountability under the SRA Standards, while encryption and configurable retention support your obligations under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act. We do not provide legal advice, but we build the controls your compliance team needs.
Will the phone system work with our practice or case management software?
In most cases yes. Platforms such as 8x8 and Evonex integrate with common case management, practice management and CRM systems, logging calls to the correct client and matter and showing screen pops when a client calls, so records stay accurate and complete.
Can we record and bill calls against a specific matter?
Yes. Calls can be logged against the relevant client and matter reference, and recordings attached to the file, which supports accurate time recording and makes disbursements and billing easier to reconcile.
Can fee earners take calls securely when working from home or in court?
Yes. A single number follows each fee earner across desk phone, laptop softphone and mobile app, with the same encrypted call handling and recording. Clients reach the right person and every call is captured consistently, wherever your team is working.
How does dictation work with your phone system?
Our cloud voice integrates with common dictation and time recording workflows so call audio and notes attach to the correct matter. This reduces manual admin for fee earners and helps ensure billable time is captured at source.
What happens to our calls if the internet goes down?
We provide SLA-backed leased lines, FTTP and SIP connectivity, and cloud voice can automatically reroute calls to mobiles or another site if a connection is disrupted. Your practice stays reachable during completion days and court deadlines.
How quickly can you set up a legal practice?
Cloud voice can typically be deployed in days rather than months, with number porting handled to avoid downtime. Your dedicated account manager plans the migration around your court diary and completion deadlines.
