Where Downtime Costs More Than a Bad Afternoon.
Clayton isn’t a typical suburb. It’s the seat of St. Louis County government and one of the region’s densest concentrations of law firms and wealth management offices, packed into a handful of office towers along Forsyth and Central. In that environment, an IT problem isn’t just an inconvenience, it’s lost billable hours, a compliance question, or a client’s trust on the line. Computerease has supported businesses like these since 1984.
Computerease provides managed IT support, cybersecurity, cloud, and phone systems for businesses in Clayton, Missouri, from its office at 222 South Meramec Avenue, Suite 202. Founded in 1984 and led today by Ryan Haislar, CISSP, the company supports law firms, financial and wealth management firms, and organizations connected to St. Louis County government throughout Clayton and the surrounding inner suburbs.
A law firm or a wealth management office doesn’t sell a product, it sells judgment and discretion. That means client-privileged documents, financial records, and confidential communications are the actual product being protected, not just data sitting on a server. Add in the fact that St. Louis County’s own government offices and courts are based here too, and Clayton has a business mix where a security lapse or an extended outage carries consequences well beyond a normal office.
We built our approach to this market around that reality. Every plan starts from the assumption that confidentiality and uptime aren’t nice-to-haves, they’re the actual job.
For a law firm, an hour of downtime is an hour of billable work that doesn’t happen. Our ConstantCare Managed IT Services program is built to prevent that hour from happening in the first place, not just respond quickly once it does.

grounded guidance on where AI tools genuinely fit a legal or financial practice.
Law firms and financial advisors are high-value targets precisely because of what they hold: privileged case files, trust account access, and client financial data. A breach at a firm like this isn’t just a technical problem, it can trigger bar association scrutiny, SEC or FINRA questions, and a genuine loss of client trust. Computerease builds security into every plan instead of selling it separately, using the Center for Internet Security (CIS) Critical Security Controls as the foundation.
Our CISSP-led team has direct experience helping law firms protect privileged data, helping financial and wealth management firms meet SEC and FINRA expectations, and helping organizations that work with St. Louis County government meet public-sector security requirements.
Law firms and financial advisors are watching AI closely, aware of both the efficiency gains and the confidentiality risk. We help sort that out with AI Readiness Assessments, employee AI training, secure Microsoft Copilot deployment, and AI Acceptable Use Policies that set clear boundaries around what client data can and can’t touch an AI tool.
Some of the larger Clayton firms already have an internal IT person handling day-to-day support. Our co-managed model reinforces that person rather than replacing them, taking on advanced cybersecurity, 24/7 monitoring, and larger projects like a practice management system migration.
We manage Microsoft 365 environments on an ongoing basis, not just at setup, and handle migrations off an aging on-premise server to Microsoft Azure when it’s time to retire that hardware.
Our cloud-based phone systems keep your team connected whether they’re in a Clayton office tower, in court, or working from home. Same number, same features, wherever they log in.
Our Clayton office supports businesses throughout the inner suburbs of St. Louis County, with both remote and onsite support available.
Service area spans St. Louis County and connects with our downtown St. Louis coverage to the east.
| Â | Computerease | Big-Firm IT Vendors |
|---|---|---|
Confidentiality standards | Built around client-privileged and fiduciary data from day one | Generic data handling not tuned to legal or financial work |
Response time | 15 minutes or less for critical, system-down issues | A downed system waits behind a general support queue |
Security ownership | A CISSP builds and owns your strategy directly | Security often handled by a rotating account team |
Agreement structure | One year to start, then month-to-month by choice | Multi-year terms with early termination penalties |
Accountability | Family-owned, second generation, since 1984 | A subsidiary of a larger holding company |
Billable-hour awareness | Support built around what an hour of downtime actually costs your firm | Generic SLAs not tied to your revenue model |
I have been with Computerease for many years. They have a great team of I.T. techs, whether it is on the phone or coming to my office. They are fast and efficient.
We are a small business and have been a Computerease client for years. I highly recommend their services for large and small firms. Always extremely efficient with their response times and very knowledgeable on all things computers/systems!
I have to say, these guys and girls are the BEST! They are there for every question and issue, always with the perfect resolution. We reach out to them often just exploring options with our systems. Computerease always makes our lives easier! We love them!!
Deep knowledge of systems hardware, Microsoft OS and many software platforms. Very responsive when we have issues. Computerease never leaves us hanging. A true partner for a company like ours that does not have in-house IT support. I give them my highest recommendation.
Dan was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful — hands down the easiest laptop transition I’ve had in over 20 years! I was able to work all day while he handled everything, and he also got our conference room tech running smoothly. Everything feels easier and better than our old setup — the Computerease team is really good.

If your current provider is slow to respond, you’re not confident your systems would hold up to a compliance review, or your team is dealing with recurring problems, it’s worth a second look. Our free assessment includes:
Yes. We build systems around protecting privileged client data from the start, including secure document handling, access controls, and the confidentiality standards the legal profession requires.
We aim to respond to system-down, business-critical issues in 15 minutes or less. For a firm billing by the hour, we understand that speed has a direct dollar cost attached.
Yes. Our CISSP-led team has direct experience helping financial and wealth management firms align their security practices with SEC and FINRA expectations.
Yes. We support businesses and organizations that work closely with county offices and courts, including the security and reliability standards that come with that kind of work.
Clients start with a one-year initial agreement. After that, most continue month to month because the relationship holds up on its own.
A national call center doesn’t know the difference between a routine outage and a confidentiality-critical one. We do, and we can get someone to your Clayton office quickly when it matters.
