Access management and authentication are central to protecting sensitive information in modern legal practice. As legal services increasingly rely on cloud platforms, remote access, and digital workflows, law firms and legal departments face growing risks of unauthorized access, privilege misuse, and data breaches. This article analyzes access management and authentication in legal environments through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates cybersecurity standards, professional ethics, and regulatory compliance. Drawing on recognized international frameworks, the study systematizes access control models, multi-factor authentication, identity and access management, privileged access management, secure client portals, mobile and cloud access governance, continuous authentication, and e-discovery access controls. The results highlight that effective access governance in legal practice requires a risk-based approach that combines technical safeguards with organizational accountability and ethical duties. The article offers a structured set of best-practice recommendations to strengthen confidentiality, maintain compliance, and reinforce client trust.
