Email is not safe for important legal correspondence.

“Hackers are increasingly targeting law firms and public relations companies with a sophisticated e-mail scheme that breaks into their computer networks to steal sensitive data, often linked to large corporate clients doing business overseas.”

— Associated Press [“FBI says hackers targeting law firms, PR companies”, 11/17/2009]

“Law firms are advised to conduct as much due diligence as possible before engaging in transactions with parties who are handling their business solely via e-mail.”

— FBI Website [“NEW TWIST ON COUNTERFEIT CHECK SCHEMES TARGETING U.S. LAW FIRMS”, 1/21/2010

“Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics...the breach at the University of East Anglia was discovered after hackers who had gained access to the correspondence sought Tuesday to hack into a different server.”

— New York Times [“Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute”, 11/20/2009]

Why is email insufficient for law practices?

No matter how sophisticated your local software or network firewall, when you send a traditional email, the raw text you see and any files you attach travel from you—through a vast network of computers across the Internet—to your recipient.

All Internet communication (email, FTP, web browsing, instant messaging, etc.) works by breaking messages into packets of information and sending them toward theirdestination, where they are reassembled upon arrival. Because your computer doesn’t have a direct line to your recipient, your message packets must be relayed numerous times until they finally reach a computer with such a direct connection.

This means that your text and files can be easily intercepted by nearly anyone along the way, and copies may be saved (even for years after you send the original) without your knowledge or consent. Furthermore, the origin of an email is easy to fake, since it isrelatively simple to make an email appear that it came from someone else.

Dialawg is different.

Build trust with your clients by making online collaboration easier and more secure with Dialawg’s advanced features, including:

Industry-leading “in-transit” and “at rest” data protection. When you connect to Dialawg, your data travels across a 128-bit SSL extended validation connection, which protects your data from prying eyes. Additionally, all of your files and other data are stored with 256-bit AES encryption within the United States. We perform daily backups of all data and regularly backup data to geographically distributed locations.

Private network structure. Dialawg’s private network structure provides end-user identity verification, as well as a spam-free environment, so you know with greater certainty with whom you’re communicating. Our platform is powered and backed by industry leaders such as Amazon S3® through which we offer unlimited storage, and Rackspace® which provides physical database security through stringent methods including access keycards, biometric scanning, 24×7 surveillance, and SAS 70 Type II certification.

Proprietary platform design and testing. Cyber-attacks are attempted daily across the globe, and we take the threat seriously. Our system is designed—and maintained—to prevent cross-site scripting and injection attacks, cross-site request forgeries, and other security breach attempts. In addition to constantly refining our own standards, we seek review from industry-leading third parties, including TrustGuard®, to attest to our dedication to privacy and security.

Simplify your practice, build trust, and reduce costs.

Dialawg just works, whether you are using Outlook®, iPhone®, or a modern web browser to access your files and messages, or accessing your unlimited and encrypted storage using our backup software. You always have the latest and greatest version, without the need to run or update local software (and without FTPs, VPNs, or additional certificates). And since Dialawg functions with your existing email address and most mail clients, you don’t have to change your habits or even your contact information.

Signup is just as easy for your clients as it is for you. And of course, clients will never see a bill, regardless of how many files and messages they exchange. Attorney basic accounts are always free and include unlimited storage and communication within your firm. Dialawg’s Premium Services can be added at any time (which include correspondence with clients, quick compose, and voicemail).

Dialawg is more than just a sum of its parts. By combining many of the benefits associated with postal mail with the speed and simplicity of email, you save valuable time and money by avoiding last minute runs to the post office, printing on letterhead and envelopes, paying for delivery confirmation, storing duplicates, and hoping something gets there when anticipated. And did we mention that it’s far more secure than traditional email?
