Introducing Legal 360: Keep Matters Moving Through Disruption

Client matter work is the primary revenue driver at every law firm. When matter data becomes unavailable, attorneys’ work stops, deadlines slip, and revenue is immediately at risk, and reputational damage can follow fast. 

The cost of a matter outage compounds quickly. Brightflag’s law firm rates report cites an average AmLaw attorney rate of $1,145 per hour. In a 100-attorney firm, a 4-hour outage can translate to $458,000 in direct billable-time impact. 

The challenge is that matter data is not in one place. It typically spans document management, collaboration, file shares, and the broader tech stack of law firms. That makes resilience hard to operationalize with point tools and disconnected recovery processes. 

To address this, today we launch HYCU Legal 360, an offering that delivers end-to-end mater resilience for law firms, so their work never stops, even through major disruptions.  

What is Legal 360? 

HYCU Legal 360 is a purpose-built legal data protection solution designed to help law firms keep matters moving when an outage, an incident, or a ransomware event hits. Matters are the building blocks of legal operations, representing the individual pieces of work that collectively shape any team’s impact on the organization. 

Legal 360 extends HYCU’s official iManage Cloud protection to over 100 workloads, delivering unified resilience across the full matter footprint. 

Legal 360 keeps matter systems recoverable across: 

• Documents: iManage Cloud content and critical matter files 
• Collaboration: Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive) 
• Identity and access: Microsoft Entra ID and Okta access policies that govern who can reach matter data 
• Infrastructure: File shares and compute across Nutanix, VMware, and public cloud services 
• SaaS: Docusign, Atlassian, Box, and other applications matter workflows depend on 

Built for operational recovery, not just point backups, Legal 360 enables fast, simple restoration whether you need an individual item or configuration, or the entire tenant based on what the situation requires.

Why this is important now 

Law firms are constantly facing risk from four different directions: 

• Distributed matter workflows across multiple systems 
• Rising client expectations to prove recoverability and operational resilience across the full matter footprint  
• High disruption risk from human error, automation mistakes, third party outages, misconfigurations, and ransomware 
• Growing risk from AI-driven access workflows that can introduce errors and disrupt active matters 

Legal 360 is Built for This New Reality

How can law firms benefit from Legal 360? 

Law firms can unlock several strategic outcomes with Legal 360. 

Keep matters moving through disruption 

Restore access to matter content, collaboration workspaces, and supporting services quickly so attorneys can continue work and revenue impact stays minimal. 

Recover the full matter footprint, not just one system 

Matters are distributed across documents, collaboration, identity, and infrastructure. Legal 360 is designed to help you recover the operating context of a matter, not just a single dataset. 

Reduce ransomware and malicious activity impact 

Maintain independent backup copies with customer controlled storage options, including immutability where required, so you can recover cleanly with confidence in the integrity of your backups. 

Strengthen client trust and audit readiness 

Client security reviews increasingly require verifiable recoverability across the full matter footprint, not only within a single application. Legal 360 supports defensible recovery practices with firm controlled retention, access, and traceability. 

Reduce tool sprawl and operational overhead 

Replace fragmented point products and manual exports with a unified operating model for protection and recovery across services, improving consistency in recovery outcomes.
