## Where the service runs

LawManage runs on Microsoft Azure.

> **To confirm before publishing:** the Azure region for production, and whether backups, log storage and any
> AI processing stay in the same region.

## What is stored

- Matter, contact and intake records, in a dedicated database per environment.
- Documents and files, in Azure blob storage.
- Email and calendar data synchronised from Microsoft 365, where a firm has connected it.

## Environments

Production holds live firm data. A separate sandbox environment exists for evaluation and training and is never
loaded with production data unless a firm asks for it.
