About The Killino Firm

For decades, The Killino Firm has been a beacon of justice for victims of catastrophic injuries—particularly infants, children, and families impacted by commercial vehicle accidents. Their commitment to fighting for the vulnerable has earned them national recognition and trust. But behind their courtroom strength was a weak and aging IT infrastructure—one that was starting to fail under the weight of modern demands. That's where AKAVEIL TECHNOLOGIES stepped in.

The Challenge

Legacy Technology & Lack of Security

The Killino Firm was operating with outdated technology that posed significant security risks and operational inefficiencies.

Key Issues

  • Outdated Rackspace terminal server with no redundancy or disaster recovery plan
  • Insecure RDP access exposing the firm to cyber risks
  • Frequent server downtime disrupting workflows
  • No structured user onboarding or IT processes in place
  • Lack of modern collaboration tools and visibility into firm operations

Business Impact

  • Missed billable hours due to constant downtime
  • Increased cyber risk with exposed remote access
  • Frustrated staff and low morale from unreliable tools
  • No visibility or control over devices, especially Mac users
  • Inability to work efficiently or remotely
