Consolidating Two Law Firm Offices into One Modern Workplace in Bromley, Kent

Delivering a complete office relocation, cloud transformation and infrastructure modernisation project to bring two legal practices together under one roof while supporting the transition to LEAP cloud-based case management.

Sector:SolicitorsLocation:Bromley, KentService:Computer hardware

PROJECT OVERVIEW

A long-standing legal client made the strategic decision to consolidate its Chislehurst and Beckenham offices into a newly refurbished location in Bromley, Kent.

At the same time, the firm was preparing to implement LEAP, a cloud-based legal case management platform. Their existing Citrix-hosted desktop environment was not the right long-term fit for the new platform, creating an opportunity to modernise the entire technology estate as part of the office move.

D8A IT Services was engaged to design and deliver the complete technology transformation. This included relocating users, replacing the existing Citrix desktop environment, deploying Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot, installing new network infrastructure, delivering resilient internet connectivity and creating a fully standardised workplace for all employees.

The result was a modern, secure and scalable technology platform designed to support the firm's future growth.

The Challenge

  • Two separate offices needed to be merged into a single Bromley location.
  • Business operations needed to continue with minimal disruption.
  • The firm's new LEAP case management platform required a move away from Citrix-hosted desktops.
  • Existing users needed a seamless migration to a new way of working.
  • Network infrastructure at the new office required validation and upgrades.
  • Meeting room technology needed to be relocated and recommissioned.
  • Every workstation required standardisation.
  • Reliable internet connectivity was critical for legal operations.
  • The firm required improved resilience and business continuity.
  • Future device management needed to be simplified and cloud-based.

Our Approach

A Network Built For What's Next

The new Bromley office was designed around cloud services, modern endpoint management and resilient connectivity. By combining office consolidation with a complete technology transformation, the firm now benefits from a secure, scalable and highly efficient platform that supports both today's operational requirements and future growth initiatives.

Why This Matters

Law firms increasingly depend on cloud-based platforms such as LEAP to manage cases, documents and client communications. Successfully transitioning away from legacy desktop environments while relocating an entire business requires careful planning and technical expertise. By combining both projects into a single programme, the firm reduced complexity, improved productivity and created a modern workplace designed for the future.
