Legal & Professional Services
Client privilege and matter confidentiality depend on speech that stays in the room, not the corridor, lift lobby, or neighbouring practice.
Industries
Law firms, chambers, and advisory practices mix partner offices, open fee-earner floors, client suites, and shared cores. Privilege risk is often adjacency: consultation rooms against waiting areas, WC stacks against interview rooms, and multi-tenant walls into other practices. Acoustic Security focuses on speech privacy and leakage paths, not document or cyber controls, so partners can brief, negotiate, and instruct without intelligible speech leaving the intended space.
Typical spaces
- Partner and counsel offices next to open plan
- Client meeting and mediation rooms on busy floors
- Reception / waiting adjacent to interview rooms
- Shared cores: lifts, stairwells, and WC stacks
Solutions that fit
- Confidential Meeting Rooms
Boardroom and meeting speech is intelligible outside the room, or you cannot prove it is not.
- Workplace Speech Privacy
Confidential conversations carry into neighbouring desks, waiting areas, restrooms, or open-plan / hot-desking zones.
- Speech Privacy Across Walls & Circulation
Speech leaks through walls into fire-exit stairways, public restrooms, or other semi-public circulation outside the room.
- Acoustic Attack-Vector Isolation
Deliberate listening is possible via external windows or contact-microphone / structure-borne paths through walls and surfaces.
- Laser & Optical Eavesdropping Protection
Speech vibrates façades and reflective surfaces. Remote laser / optical vibrometry from line-of-sight can recover conversations without entering the room.
- HVAC & Duct Speech Privacy
Shared HVAC ducts, plenums, and penetrations can carry intelligible speech between rooms, a flanking path that can be exploited deliberately or leak casually.
- Microphone Nullification for Restricted Areas
Microphones, including phones, can pick up speech in restricted areas, including accidental calls.
- Mobile Phone Secure Storage for No-Phone Zones
Strict no-phone policies need reliable physical custody at the door to the restricted zone.
- Care for Existing Sound Masking Systems
You already have a sound masking or speech privacy system, but it is underperforming, hard to use, vendor-orphaned, or out of step after a fit-out.
- Speech Privacy Delivery Levels
You know you need speech privacy, but not which delivery level fits your rooms, change rate, and control needs.
