You might want to get an All-in-One printer/fax/scanner with a document feeder, but make it high end enough to be able to handle the firm's paper load. If they generate a great deal of paper (and law firms do), then you might consider a dedicated high speed scanner. Then simply save the scanned files to PDF and set up a redundant backup system where you do daily and weekly backups, moving a copy of the weekly backups to offsite storage once a week. You should decide on a backup media such as tape that you can move off site easily. You could also consider a service like Iron Mountain, which provides electronic offsite storage. Another idea is the Mirra Backup Server, which automatically backups any files you designate any time the files change and keeps a user-defined number of previous versions. This could be useful for a law firm where the client may want to see that draft of the contract from two weeks ago. You should set up a couple of different backup methods to ensure that the client doesn't lose any valuable client data.
