UK-based legal software company established since 1991. Develops FiLOS — an integrated legal office software system covering case management, legal practice management, legal accounting, and document management. Serves UK law firms (named clients: Manak Solicitors, Prospero Solicitors, Oliver Legal per Legal IT Insider). LinkedIn: 88 followers. RocketReach: $10M revenue, 16 employees. GetLatka: $1.4M revenue. Capterra and Software Advice listings exist. ZoomInfo describes as ‘FiLOS Software specializes in fully integrated legal software solutions.’ Crunchbase confirms active status, for-profit. Insight Legal Software provides data migration services from Cognito — suggests firms migrate away from it as well as to it. UK/Ireland focused — no evidence of US market presence. NOTE: Name collision with a separate ‘Cognito’ software developed by an Alabama lawyer (Clay Rankin) for task management — that’s a different product.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Cognito Software is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Cognito Software addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Attorneys reconstruct their day at 9pm, guessing at time entries — studies show 10-15% of billable hours vanish when you don't track in real time
Solo attorney paying $500+/month across 6 different software tools that don't share data — needs one system that actually handles the basics without nickel-and-diming
Firm uses separate tools for intake, documents, billing, and e-signatures that don't talk to each other — opening a new matter means entering the same client info 4 times across systems that should but don't share data
