Our services

Professional systems for professional practices

GOTTWALD LAW PLLC delivers computer systems design and computer integrated systems design services for law firms, consultancies and technical service providers. Every engagement is documented, priced and delivered to a standard we are prepared to stand behind. The six disciplines below work together so your practice runs on one coherent, dependable platform rather than a patchwork of tools.

Capabilities

What each engagement covers

Computer Systems Design

We start with a complete picture of how your firm works: the way matters move, the way documents flow and the way decisions are made. From that picture we produce a system architecture that maps directly onto your practice. We specify hardware, software, networks and procedures in enough detail for any engineer to build from the document alone.

The design phase ends with drawings, schedules and a fixed budget that your leadership can approve with confidence. Nothing is left vague, because a vague design produces a vague system. Every assumption is recorded, every option is priced and every choice is yours to make with full information.

  • Requirements and workflow analysis
  • Architecture drawings and specifications
  • Hardware, software and network planning
  • Fixed budget and delivery schedule
  • Migration and cutover planning
  • Written acceptance criteria

Computer Integrated Systems Design

Modern firms rarely run one system; they run many, and the seams between them cause most of the damage. We design integrated environments where practice management, billing, document, email and calendaring tools behave as a single machine. Interfaces are defined precisely so information moves without manual re-entry.

Integrated design removes the duplicate work that quietly taxes every department. When one system updates a record, every connected system reflects it. When a matter changes, the calendar, the billing queue and the reporting layer all change together. Your staff stop acting as the bridge between tools and start doing the work only people can do.

  • Interface and data mapping specifications
  • Workflow orchestration design
  • Single source of truth modelling
  • Error handling and reconciliation rules
  • Legacy system coexistence strategy
  • Operational handover documentation

Platform Engineering and Build

Once the design is approved, our engineers construct the platform to the letter of the specification. Servers, cloud resources, storage, backups and network controls are provisioned, configured and tested before anything reaches your team. Every component is documented with the same discipline as the design itself.

You receive a running platform, a full record of its configuration and training for the people who will operate it. Automation is applied wherever routine work repeats, so your staff are freed from maintenance chores. The platform we hand over is built to be monitored, patched and extended without friction.

  • Cloud and on-premises provisioning
  • Automation and configuration management
  • Backup, recovery and resilience controls
  • Testing and acceptance verification
  • Staff training and runbooks
  • Configuration documentation

Data and Reporting

Data is only useful when it answers questions. We build reporting layers that convert practice data into dashboards, schedules and statements your team can act on. Reports are designed around the decisions your partners actually make, not around generic templates.

Our reporting stays aligned with accounting and ethical obligations, giving leadership confidence in every number. Scheduled reports arrive without being asked for, and self-service views let managers inspect the detail behind any figure. What was once a monthly scramble becomes a routine your firm can depend on.

  • Dashboard design and development
  • Scheduled report distribution
  • Data quality and validation rules
  • Matter, fee and deadline analytics
  • Export and statement generation
  • Single source of truth reporting

Security and Continuity

Client information is the foundation of professional trust, and we treat it accordingly. Security design covers access control, encryption, monitoring, audit trails and recovery plans from the first drawing. Continuity plans are tested, not assumed, so a disruption becomes an inconvenience rather than a crisis.

We review security posture continuously and report findings plainly. Access is granted by role and reviewed regularly. Every significant action leaves a trail that can be examined. Your firm can demonstrate to clients and regulators that sensitive information is handled to a serious standard.

  • Access control and role design
  • Encryption of data at rest and in transit
  • Monitoring and alerting
  • Audit trail implementation
  • Backup and disaster recovery testing
  • Regular posture reviews

Managed Support

A professional system is a responsibility, not a one-time purchase. Our managed support team monitors, patches and improves your platform around the clock. Incidents are answered promptly, changes are documented and reporting is transparent.

You gain a partner who treats the health of your systems with the same care we expect from the systems themselves. Patches are applied on a schedule, capacity is watched, and problems are resolved before your team notices them. Managed support turns a platform into an asset that keeps improving.

  • 24-7 monitoring and incident response
  • Patch and update management
  • Performance and capacity oversight
  • Change management and documentation
  • Quarterly health reports
  • Dedicated point of contact

How we work

Four phases from first call to steady state

01

Discover

We interview your teams, review existing systems and document every workflow that matters. The findings are returned as a written report.

02

Design

We translate findings into a concrete architecture with costs, schedules and acceptance criteria. You approve before anything is built.

03

Build

We construct, test and document the platform, moving data and workflows with care. Nothing goes live until it meets the agreed standard.

04

Maintain

We monitor, patch and improve the system, reporting openly on everything we touch. The platform keeps getting safer and smoother.
