Gavel & Gown Software Inc. Corporate Profile

Gavel & Gown Software Inc. is the world’s leading provider of practice management software for the legal profession. Amicus Attorney®, the flagship product, began at a large international law firm. Ron Collins, Gavel & Gown founder and CEO, was then a partner in the firm. He designed the first version of Amicus Attorney to help him organize his day-to-day workflows and to make his practice more efficient. The product was so useful that soon all of the lawyers in his group were using it. In 1993 Ron left his practice and founded Gavel & Gown Software Inc. so he could make this highly successful product available to other legal professionals. The first commercial version of Amicus Attorney was launched in November 1994. It was an instant success. Now, 15 years later, the 10th generation of the software showcases the dedication of the company towards creating a world-class product focused on making the lives of legal professionals easier. Amicus Attorney has been sold to tens of thousands of law firms in over 80 countries around the world. It is sold and supported by a network of more than 250 Amicus Attorney Certified Consultants. Amicus Attorney is used by legal professionals in firms of all sizes who practice all areas of law - a true testament to the merit of the product. Through all versions of Amicus Attorney, Gavel & Gown has continued to maintain the philosophy that the best software for lawyers works the way lawyers work. That is why the product is still designed from the lawyer down, not the database up. Amicus Attorney is powerful, intuitive and remarkably easy to use. It is designed to assist legal professionals to practice the way they want to. Gavel & Gown’s impressive team of legal industry product experts, combined with significant ongoing investment in research and development, ensures the continued creation of innovative and powerful solutions. Gavel & Gown's numerous achievements are recognized through the success of its customers and through its alliances with key strategic partners. As a measure of this phenomenal success, Amicus Attorney has won more than 30 prominent industry awards, has been endorsed by major law societies and has been recognized by independent surveys as the most widely used practice management software in the USA. Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, and privately owned, the company continues to build on the strong foundation set in 1993.
