Case Study

Background

 

The Family Law Co was established four years ago by Principal Solicitor Carla Giles. Since then it has grown significantly. They now have seven family law solicitors and five dedicated support staff across their Newcastle, Maitland and Narrabri offices.

 

Their award-winning team offers specialised family law services to clients all across Australia, irrespective of their location or socio-economic status. Given many of their clients are not based within proximity to their offices, their firm relies heavily on good IT systems to keep them operating at full capacity.

 

Challenges

 

Shortly after founding The Family Law Co, Carla was the “jack of all trades” within the practice. She was handling IT, admin, bookkeeping, and more. The IT aspect was particularly difficult because it was time-consuming and not her area of expertise.

 

She needed to outsource a reliable IT partner to manage their infrastructure efficiently and securely so that she could focus on delivering quality legal services and growing her practice

 

Solution

 

Carla met the Myrtec team at one of their educational IT lunch and learns, “Techshops.” She got to know the Myrtec team and trusted they were the right IT partner to help her overcome her IT challenges. For the past 3 years, Myrtec has been supporting The Family Law Co with:

 

  • Proactive management and maintenance of all their IT systems via the Myrtec Managed IT Services Agreement (FLEX).
  • Simplifying their IT systems to make operations more efficient.
  • Procurement, setup and installation of new hardware.
  • Optimising security and data safety, which is crucial for confidential legal records.
  • Enhancing the use of Microsoft 365 and providing training on office tools.

“I initially came across Myrtec out of sheer frustration at having to be the Jack of all trades within my firm. Myrtec immediately made me feel like they had my back. They’re just good people. And it’s the people that make all the difference when you’re looking to engage an external partner.”

  • Seamless Integration: The transition to Myrtec was smooth, with no disruptions to business operations or significant capital expenses.

Carla and her team are confident in their ability to provide specialised family law services to clients across various locations. The partnership with Myrtec has been instrumental in ensuring smooth business operations and identifying areas for improvement.

“For businesses looking for an IT partner to streamline systems and enhance operational efficiency, I highly recommend reaching out to the team at Myrtec.”
