The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” IT for Law Firms
📉 The Hidden Cost of “Cheap” IT
Choosing a budget IT provider might look like a win on paper. If a law firm saves $50 per month per user, it feels like smart cost-cutting.
But what most firms do not realize is that “cheap IT” often comes with a hidden expense that hits much harder than the invoice.
Lost productivity.
And in a law firm, lost productivity means one thing: lost billable revenue.
If an attorney billing $350/hour loses just 2 hours a month due to slow systems, login issues, glitches, or recurring support delays, the math is brutal:
$350/hour x 2 hours = $700 lost per attorney, per month.
That is not an IT problem. That is a revenue problem.
And it is exactly why the right MSP does not cost your firm money, it protects it.
