LaSalle Consulting Partners

What LaSalle Consulting Partners does

LaSalle Consulting Partners, Inc. is a Chicago-headquartered IT consulting and managed services firm founded in 1995 by Frank Zurek, CPA, that exclusively serves three vertical markets: law firms, labor organizations (local unions, joint apprenticeship and training committees, labor-management cooperatives), and Taft-Hartley Employee Benefit Plans (Health and Welfare Funds, Pension Funds, and collectively bargained trusts). Service revenue is generated through a mix of professional services engagements, project-based implementations, and recurring subscription offerings — notably tiered-priced Breach Prevention Platform subscriptions (HIPAA and non-HIPAA), fixed-cost HIPAA compliance bundles, and ongoing managed services contracts. The technical stack centers on Microsoft 365 and Azure (Exchange Online, SharePoint, OneDrive, Teams), supported by partnerships with Microsoft (Silver Competency, Cloud Champions Club member for 20+ years), HP, Dell, SonicWall, Duo, Zoom, Adobe, Intuit, and Comcast Business, with proprietary productized assessments for HIPAA Security Risk, Baseline Employee Cybersecurity, and Microsoft 365 Defense Hardening. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, leveraging IFEBP conference presence, a referral network anchored by nine of the top 50 Chicago law firms (per the 2025 Chicago Lawyer Magazine Settlement Survey), and a content engine (TechNow Advisor blog/newsletter); distribution is regional, with active clients across Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Michigan, Washington State, Delaware, and Virginia.

Others

Broad incumbents

• Avanade: Avanade is a large Microsoft-focused consultancy (joint Accenture/Microsoft venture) implementing Microsoft 365 and Azure at enterprise scale. It is a broad incumbent that competes for larger Microsoft 365 engagements but does not serve LaSalle's niche law-firm and Taft-Hartley segments.
• CMIT Solutions: CMIT Solutions is a national franchise network of managed IT and cybersecurity providers serving SMBs. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping managed services and cybersecurity capabilities, but without LaSalle's vertical specialization in law firms and Taft-Hartley plans.
• Dataprise: Dataprise is a US managed IT and cybersecurity provider with national coverage and a 24x7 SOC. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping services (managed IT, cybersecurity, Microsoft 365) but competes primarily on scale rather than vertical regulatory depth.

Regional players
