About Cognicion

Why “Cognicion”?

noun cog·ni·cion \käg-ˈni-shən\
From Middle English cognicion, and derived from the Latin word, cognitio ‎(“knowledge, perception, a judicial examination, trial”).

Cognicion is a boutique information management and legal services provider based in Richmond, Virginia—the state’s legal, medical, and government center. Formed in 2015 after 15 years as an in-house provider, our focus was on the need for specialized workflows and professional skillsets to manage large-scale discovery projects. Cognicion has continued to evolve with the legal landscape, embracing the most relevant technologies to adapt to our clients’ current needs.

Our Diverse Expertise is Our Strength

Cognicion has grown into a diverse group of individuals spread out across the country, all with unique backgrounds, educations, and abilities. Our leadership group is guided by principles learned working in international consulting, while our data scientists learned their trade immersed in computer technology and data management.

Every member of our litigation support team hold J.D.s and have decades experience working in eDiscovery.

They have overseen projects ranging from regulatory investigations to environmental lawsuits to pharmaceutical litigation and so on, all the while working to develop new processes to best manage the collection and review of material for production.

From these relatively specialized backgrounds winds a common thread that bonds us: our desire to provide the best possible resolution for our clients.

Our Team Cohesion is Our Competitive Advantage

Our team works in close collaboration: we know each other, we trust each other, and we rely on each other. Our cohesion allows us to move efficiently and have flexibility to customize solutions for our clients—our astronomical retention rate among client corporations and law firms speaks for itself! Technology offers us limitless potential that makes us competitive—but the bond that unifies us and differentiates us in a crowded market—are the individuals who comprise Cognicion.
