Legal Chambers

Privileged. Physically Protected.

Privileged legal records cannot afford to live on always-online infrastructure. A Firevault Legal Chambers vault keeps matter files physically disconnected, opens per matter, and re-seals when the work is done.

Why OSS

Legal Chambers

Your most sensitive data deserves protection that goes beyond software. Firevault provides the only storage that is physically unreachable by design.

Why Always-On Storage Fails Law Firms

Privilege evaporates the moment data leaks.

Privilege At Risk

Once privileged material is exfiltrated and circulated, courts may treat privilege as waived. The legal protection collapses with the perimeter.

Ransomware Targeting Firms

Law firms are now a primary ransomware target. Attackers know matter files command both ransom payment and downstream extortion.

Cross-Border Disclosure Exposure

Cloud-resident matter files crossing jurisdictions create disclosure, sovereignty and regulatory risks that no encryption setting fully resolves.

The Reality

This is already happening in legal services.

CTS: Ransomware Disrupted 200 UK Law Firms

A ransomware attack on managed service provider CTS disrupted IT systems for approximately 200 UK law firms, preventing conveyancing transactions and client access for weeks. Privileged files were exposed.

The Scenario

Privilege, waived overnight.

A mid-sized firm is hit by ransomware. Privileged matter files for a high-profile client are exfiltrated and posted to a leak site. Opposing counsel argues privilege has been waived; the regulator opens an investigation; the firm faces fines, professional sanctions and client loss. With a Firevault Legal Chambers vault, those files would have been offline at the moment of attack.

"Legal privilege should rest on physics, not just policy."

The OSS Legal Chambers

Privilege you can physically prove.

Each matter sits inside a vault that is physically disconnected by default. Authorised counsel opens the matter for a defined window, every action is audited, and the vault re-seals automatically when the matter closes.

  • Offline by default, privileged matter files physically disconnected from all networks
  • Matter-scoped access windows for counsel, paralegals and experts
  • Full chain-of-custody audit for every file viewed, exported or amended
  • Automatic re-seal once the matter, hearing or disclosure window closes

Take Privileged Files Off Firm Systems

Step 1 of 3

Privileged matter files, client correspondence, and case documents are taken off firm systems and written to physically disconnected RAID 1 drives inside a Firevault Bunker. Privilege is protected by physics, not just policy.
