The legal profession has been around for as long as civil society – always adapting to changes in technology. From pen and ink to typewriters, and now computers. From sending legal briefs by courier, to sending by email. As the profession has increasingly gone online, a key tool in a law firm’s arsenal is a dependable internet provider that supports and adapts with them. Cogent has been supporting the legal community for over 25 years, and will continue to do so as technology evolves.

Inside a modern law firm’s office, there can be a wide range of internet-dependent activities happening simultaneously. Client meetings or depositions happening via Zoom, legal research via LexisNexis, Clio, MyCase or other databases, even the firm’s administrator tracking case hours and managing billing. To ensure peak performance, a high speed, high bandwidth and dedicated internet connection is required. Cogent delivers dedicated internet access fast and strong enough to cover the needs of any law firm without any lag or jitter in millions of corporate office buildings across North America

For firms with multiple offices, a secure network connecting them is crucial to seamless workflow and collaboration. Cogent’s VPN product set, including Ethernet Point-to-Point to connect a few offices, and VPLS, Layer 2 or MPLS IP-VPN to fully mesh multiple offices, enables secure connectivity between all your locations. And, if you use a public cloud provider, such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, for apps or storage, you use our VPN services to securely connect to your cloud instance.

Whether your firm has a single suite or offices in multiple cities, Cogent has the solution that can best power your business so you can focus on your clients, not your Internet connection.
