Solicitors Own Software (SOS), a leading supplier of legal
software to solicitors, has
undergone a management buy-out (MBO) by the current executive team, following the planned retirement of
founder Michael Platt. The management team includes directors Keith Denman, Elaine Galvin, Graham Colbourne,
Stephen Parry and David McNamara, formerly sales and marketing director who now becomes managing director.
Michael Platt said that he was very pleased to be able to leave SOS as an independent company, providing continuity of service and
product development and able to provide the very best integrated practice management and case management software.
Newly appointed managing director, David McNamara said that he thought that many law firms would be let down by the
many takeovers and consolidations currently taking place as some legal software will inevitably be dropped and
law firms will be forced in a direction that they don't necessarily want to take.
"Our MBO removes any speculation that SOS clients might suffer a similar fate" he said.

Solicitors Own Software (SOS) is a well-established supplier,
formed in 1987, with a large client-base of 400 mid-sized law firms.
The company has invested heavily in respect of research and development over the past three years and
has recently launched its all-new .net based software, SOS Connect. The launch of Connect has been dramatic,
resulting in SOS’s latest trading year being its most successful ever.
SOS Connect is a fully-integrated case management and accounting system aimed at progressive, mid-sized law
firms who are keen to improve their profitability by implementing clear and effective business processes
and workflow throughout the entire firm.
SOS Connect’s unique features include its excellent integration with Microsoft Outlook which enables
fee earners and staff to operate the entire system, including legal workflow, without ever leaving their Outlook
screen. In addition, the Scripting module in SOS Connect means any legal workflow can be tailored and
maintained much faster and simpler than conventional case management products.
Being a .net system, SOS Connect can also be operated remotely or on the move via an Internet Connection,
enabling fee earners and partners to access their cases anywhere.
SOS is an Investor in People company, a member of the Legal Software Suppliers Association,
and is also a Law Society endorsed 'Software Solution Provider'.
