A leading international law firm needed to stay ahead of rapid technology change without tying up capital. To boost mobility and productivity, they set out to replace desktops with laptops across their U.S. and global offices but wanted a financially strategic way to do it.

First American structured a 3-year FMV lease built around the firm’s financial and operational goals. The approach gave them a predictable technology refresh cycle, ensuring attorneys and staff always have up-to-date tools without large upfront spend. And with First American’s pack-and-ship return program, the firm transitioned out aging devices quickly and cleanly—no burden on internal teams, no disruption to productivity.

An international Am Law 50 firm traditionally leased their technology hardware and paid cash for other IT needs, including software and maintenance costs. Despite their strong cash position, economic uncertainty and evolving work environments led the firm to consider alternative funding options for a multimillion-dollar annual Microsoft software renewal. 

First American provided a financing solution that allowed them to preserve cash and break up the cost into lower monthly payments. Additionally, by utilizing their online account, they were able to quickly place purchase orders, execute lease documents, communicate with their First American team, and more— all within one digital platform.
