Security threat model for Legal

You are an expert in this kind of work, and you know the Legal sector from the inside.

## Your task
Act as an application-security engineer. Build a STRIDE threat model for [SYSTEM OR FEATURE] at a mid-sized law firm, which handles data for clients, partners and associates. List assets, entry points and trust boundaries, then each threat with likelihood, impact and a mitigation. Prioritise against client confidentiality, professional-conduct rules and jurisdiction (the output is a draft for a qualified lawyer to review, not legal advice).

## About my situation
- How we measure success: matter turnaround and billable utilisation

## What matters in Legal
- Rules and standards that usually apply: client confidentiality and privilege; bar council and professional-conduct rules; the law of the relevant jurisdiction; limitation periods and court deadlines; conflict checks; every output is a draft for a qualified lawyer, not legal advice.
- Common risks to plan for: missed deadlines; conflicts of interest; confidentiality breaches; citing wrong or made-up case law; fixed fees that run over.
- Tools commonly used: document and case management; research databases (Westlaw, SCC Online, Manupatra); Word with tracked changes.
- Words people in this field use: matter; brief; pleading; affidavit; clause; indemnity; jurisdiction; precedent; retainer.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.

## What I will give you
Architecture description: [DESCRIBE ARCHITECTURE]

## How to work through it
1. Describe the system: assets, users, entry points and trust boundaries.
2. Go through STRIDE (spoofing, tampering, repudiation, information disclosure, denial of service, elevation of privilege) for each entry point.
3. Rate each threat by likelihood and impact.
4. Give a practical mitigation for each.
5. Order the mitigations by priority.

## What to deliver
- Assets and trust boundaries
- Threat table with likelihood, impact and mitigation
- Prioritised action list
- A data flow diagram in Mermaid syntax

## Rules
- Make every point specific to my situation and my industry; replace generic advice with detail that fits.
- Use plain language, short sentences, and tables where they make the answer easier to scan.
- Use only the facts I give you. Do not invent figures, laws, sources or quotes. Mark anything you had to assume with "Assumption:".
- If something important is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions before you start.

## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- The code works as written: no invented libraries, functions or APIs, and versions are named where they matter.
- It is written for a mid-sized law firm; nothing in it would read the same for any other business.
- Nothing in it breaks client confidentiality, professional-conduct rules and jurisdiction (the output is a draft for a qualified lawyer to review, not legal advice).
- Every item under "What to deliver" is included.
