Admin Backdoors Everywhere
Slack admins can read all your messages. Corporate IT has full access to attorney-client discussions. Your "private" conversations aren't private at all.
Expensive Enterprise Plans
Slack charges $12.50+ per user per month for basic security features. Small firms and startups pay enterprise prices for features that should be standard.
Data Retention Nightmares
Slack keeps everything forever by default. Discovery requests become legal liabilities. Deleting sensitive conversations doesn't actually delete them from servers.
No Attorney-Client Privilege
WhatsApp and Telegram aren't designed for legal confidentiality. One subpoena and your case strategy is exposed. No Business Associate Agreements.
Government Surveillance Risk
Major platforms comply with mass surveillance requests. Your confidential business strategy could be accessed by government agencies without your knowledge.
Cloud Storage = Cloud Risk
Microsoft Teams, Google Chat: your data lives on their servers. They control it, they can read it, they can hand it over. Not acceptable for sensitive cases.
