What does NRVPC do for a law firm adopting AI?
NRVPC is a managed service provider (MSP) based in Fairfax, Virginia.
For law firms of 20 to 500 employees across Northern Virginia, our managed AI work has two parts: AI readiness training for your attorneys and staff, and turning the firm's routine work into AI agents that run inside limits the firm sets. Around both sit the tools, a written AI policy, and the data governance and security that keep client information where it belongs.
It is delivered as a separate tier or a scoped project. The firm does not need to be an NRVPC managed IT client first.
What does AI readiness for a law firm include?
Six parts, from the first training session to agents your own team runs.
AI readiness training
We train attorneys and staff to use the firm's approved AI tools well and safely, and to run the agents the firm adopts. The goal is your team operating its own tools, not dependence on us.
Routine work turned into AI agents
We build, run, and govern agents for the firm's routine work. Each agent has a defined job and defined limits, and it is monitored like any other system.
The tools, set up and licensed
Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft 365 Copilot, deployed with the right licenses, access, and data boundaries, and managed as people join and leave.
A written AI policy
We write the firm's AI policy with you, so attorneys and staff know which tools are approved and what client information may go into them. The policy is not legal advice; your attorneys review it before the firm adopts it.
Data governance and security
What each tool and agent may see is decided with you and written down, under the NRVPC security standard: MFA, least-privilege access, encryption on devices holding sensitive data, and documented rules.
Planned around Clio and Qualia
Our team already works with Clio and Qualia for law firm clients, so AI work is planned around the systems your firm runs on.
How does AI fit with client confidentiality?
Virginia Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6 protects client information and asks lawyers to make reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized access to it, including information stored and sent electronically. Comment 6 to Virginia Rule 1.1 adds the duty of technological competence: a lawyer keeps up with the benefits and risks of the technology the practice uses. An AI tool is technology the practice uses.
NRVPC puts the controls in place and documents them: which tools are approved, who can use them, what each tool and agent can reach, and what the firm's policy allows. NRVPC is an IT provider, not a law firm, so the ethics judgment stays with your attorneys.
Has NRVPC done this for a law firm before?
Yes. NRVPC has delivered managed AI for a law firm, a consultancy firm, and a nonprofit. The same team looks after the everyday technology law firms run on: see managed IT services for law firms.
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools does NRVPC manage?
Claude, Gemini, and Microsoft 365 Copilot. We deploy and license them, set what each one can see, and train your team to use them.
Does the firm need to be an NRVPC managed IT client?
No. Managed AI is its own offer, delivered as a separate tier or a scoped project. It is not part of managed IT and is not a component of any other service.
Who runs the agents once they are built?
Your team does, by design. NRVPC builds, runs, and governs agents during the engagement and trains your staff to operate them, with monitoring and guardrails staying in place.
What happens in an IT Assessment
In an IT assessment, you and Zach Launey, NRVPC's President, review your current environment, security and compliance. It ends in recommendations and a roadmap.
A 15-minute intro call
You tell Zach your objectives, what you wish were different about your IT, and what you would have technology do if you could wave a magic wand.
A review of your environment
We review your devices, network, platforms, and security posture. If you have an office, that means about an hour there, looking at your network equipment and printers. Fully remote teams meet on a video call.
Recommendations and a roadmap
Then we show you exactly what a managed plan would cover.
Eric Campbell, NRVPC's Chief Technical Officer, joins when needed.
