Five a Week - Your Legal Firms Essential Vitamin

We have all heard of your five-a-day, the essential vitamins to keep your body and mind healthy.

Well Cognito software seems to be the essential tonic - recession relief if you like - to the Legal profession. In the week commencing the 29th June the firm bucked the current market trend and secured five new clients.

Cognito, who are currently running a series of highly efficient marketing campaigns, have attracted a host of new clients and seem to be going down a storm with small to mid-sized high street practices.

Steve Chivers - Director of Sales and Marketing is very encouraged by the latest string of sales and believes that legal firms should be more positive and proactive. He comments: "there is too much bad publicity out there at the moment, the doom and gloom of the recession. At Cognito however, we believe in making positive steps in order to overcome these obstacles and encourage legal firms to start thinking of the future, of their staff, and their practice. We see the current economic downturn as the ideal time in which a legal Practice can to start getting their systems in place ready for the economy to get back to an even keel. It is those firms who have been proactive now, and looking to the future, who will survive these tough times and flourish when the economy finally turns (which it will)".

The five new firms who have signed in the last week are doing just this; they are looking at how our Case and Practice Management solutions can help their firms tackle difficult economic times, streamlining time consuming tasks and minimising their effort on mundane non-billable activities.

The five new firms are based across the UK and will be installing the integrated legal software solution - Cognito Legal Ledger, ranked first in this year's Law Society Software Solutions Guide for Overall satisfaction.
