Founded in 1978, Pilgrim has only ever specialised in the development, supply, implementation and support of law firm business software. Today that remains our sole occupation and the entire energies of Pilgrim are dedicated to this.

Originally based in the centre of Edinburgh, today Pilgrim's head office is in the thriving Leith docklands area, right by the side of the Scottish Government. Our waterfront offices provide permanent working areas for the company's development, support, finance and administration functions.

The remainder of our staff have client-facing roles and are involved in either sales, project management, training or consulting activities. In order to provide the most responsive service levels we can to our clients, these staff are located in purpose equipped home-offices across the U.K. As you would expect from a high technology company, we deploy leading edge communications with our field-based staff in order that they remain inclusive to the company values and objectives. Voice Over IP (VoIP), Webex, and Instant Messaging (IM) allow close working relationships between all employees, regardless of physical location.


A History of Law Firm Innovation
Pilgrim was one of the first law firm suppliers to evolve from the visible record computers of the late 1970s and early 1980s to mini-computer technology. Its mini-computer Advocate ® system was recognised as revolutionary. In the mid 1990s Pilgrim led the market again by the 'ground-up' development of a native MS SQL Server based application that was the ancestor of today's LawSoft®. Pilgrim has led the way with browser interfaces, 'pushed' e-mail business alerts, desktop fee earner productivity tools and many other features now taken for granted.
