Phishing Protection for Law Firms

Law firms hold privileged communications, deal files, and client funds for every client they serve. SavvyShield protects attorneys and staff at the moment a fake IT call, a lookalike sign-in page, or a new set of wire instructions tries to turn trust into access.

The risk

Why Attackers Go After Law Firms

Law firms concentrate what attackers want most: privileged communications, deal and litigation files, and client escrow funds, often behind a thinner layer of defense than the clients themselves.

Some attackers specialize in them. In May 2025 the FBI warned that the Silent Ransom Group, also known as Luna Moth, has targeted U.S. law firms since 2023 with fake IT support calls, and in 2026 the group was reported sending fake IT workers to offices in person.

How it happens

The Attack Usually Ends in the Browser

Most attacks on firms follow a few well-worn paths:

  • Fake IT support. A caller or email claims there is a problem with the employee’s account, then walks them to a sign-in page or a remote access download.
  • Lookalike document sharing. A message about a shared filing, contract, or discovery set leads to a convincing copy of a Microsoft 365 or file-sharing sign-in.
  • Payment and escrow fraud. A compromised mailbox or lookalike domain sends new wire instructions at the moment a closing or settlement is due.

Whatever the first contact, the decisive step is usually a sign-in, a download, or an approval in the browser, and that is the step SavvyShield protects.

How SavvyShield helps

Protection at the Moment of Decision

  • Real-time protection. The browser extension checks links as they open and steps in on fake sign-in pages and malicious downloads, wherever the link came from.
  • Simulations that fit the firm. Administrators can describe practice groups and departments, and simulations use that context in email and the browser.
  • Short lessons. Each catch or missed simulation is followed by a two-minute lesson on that exact technique.
  • Visibility for leadership. A Savvy Score for every person and team shows where risk is concentrated and whether it is going down.

SavvyShield works alongside email security, multifactor authentication, and call-back verification for wire changes. It does not replace them.

Any size

Built for Firms Without a Security Team

Most firms do not have a security department, and partners do not want another program to run. SavvyShield deploys through Google Admin or Microsoft Intune, supports single sign-on, and runs simulations and training automatically. Smaller firms can buy online in minutes, and larger firms can start with a guided pilot.
