On Tuesday, desktop-based legal practice management software company Tabs3 Software announced it acquired cloud-based practice management provider CosmoLex in a bid to expand its cloud offerings. As part of the acquisition, CosmoLex will still be available as a stand-alone platform.

Dan Berlin, president and CEO of Tabs3, explained the impetus behind the acquisition was the need for Tabs3 to “have a full-featured cloud product for solo and small to midsized law firms.”
