LEAP in the cloud
LEAP, Hosted on Our Secure UK Cloud
LEAP is one of the most widely used legal practice management platforms among UK law firms, handling matter management, time recording, billing, document production and case files in a single system. The data it holds, client correspondence, signed instructions, financial transactions and confidential case material, is among the most sensitive any legal practice manages.
Blowfish Technology hosts LEAP on our privately owned UK cloud infrastructure, providing your fee earners with fast, secure access from any device, with the security and compliance credentials that legal data demands. ISO 27001 certification, Cyber Essentials Plus and Cisco Duo MFA provide a security framework that meets the expectations of the SRA, your professional indemnity insurer and your clients.
Combine LEAP hosting with Microsoft 365, hosted desktop and document management in the same environment for a fully cloud-based legal practice, all hosted in the same UK data centre, managed by the same team.
Legal Data Is a High-Value Target
Law firms hold confidential client information, signed legal instruments and large client account balances. Ransomware and account takeover attacks targeting legal data have severe consequences for client trust and SRA standing.
SRA Compliance and Insurance Expectations
The SRA expects firms to take reasonable steps to protect confidential client information. Insurers increasingly require demonstrable security controls before renewing professional indemnity cover. Our certified infrastructure provides the framework these obligations require.
Remote and Hybrid Fee Earner Access
Fee earners working from home, court or client meetings need reliable access to LEAP and case files. Cloud hosting provides fast, secure access from any device without VPN complexity.
GDPR and Confidentiality Obligations
Client matters contain significant quantities of personal and special category data subject to GDPR. Our UK-only infrastructure ensures data sovereignty and supports your confidentiality obligations under solicitors’ regulation.

Common questions
LEAP Cloud Hosting FAQs
Can LEAP be hosted alongside our other legal software?
Yes. We can host LEAP in the same environment as Virtual Cabinet, Microsoft 365 or other legal applications, with a single login point through our hosted desktop. This gives your fee earners seamless access to practice management, document management and email from one place.
How is access to client matters controlled?
User access is controlled through LEAP’s own permission system, with an additional layer of protection via Cisco Duo MFA at login. Client matters are only accessible to authenticated users with appropriate permissions, and every access attempt requires a second factor of authentication.
Is our data hosting GDPR compliant?
Yes. All client matters and case files are stored on our privately owned UK servers. Data never leaves the UK and is subject only to UK law. Our ISO 27001 certification provides the independently verified security framework that GDPR requires for processing personal and special category data on behalf of clients.
How long are LEAP backups retained?
Daily backups are retained for 30 days. For longer-term retention requirements (for example SRA file retention obligations), LEAP’s own archiving manages matter retention within the system, this is separate from our infrastructure backups.
Will hosting LEAP affect performance for fee earners?
No. Our infrastructure is sized to deliver fast LEAP response times whether fee earners are working from the office, home, court or a client site. Most firms report improved performance after migration compared to running LEAP on an ageing on-premise server.
