"In a space where tech providers like to stake out a cozy niche, Clio is going to do... everything. Well, not everything, but most everything. Small law firm practice management remains at the core, but now they have a completely separate unit working on Biglaw and large corporate legal departments. Business of law remains their legacy, but now they're a practice of law provider. Legal research? Sure! Law firm AI? Why not? CRM? Of course!"
"Artificial intelligence runs on context. Without context, it's just hurling words at a dartboard while assuring the user that their query was very smart. With context, the algorithm can provide better responses and make connections across the workflow. So tear down the silos between business of law and practice of law. Allow the system to understand the calendar and exactly what that means for drafting."
Clio is expanding from small law firm practice management into a broader, integrated legal platform through the pending acquisition of vLex and organizational changes. The company is establishing a separate unit to serve BigLaw and large corporate legal departments while retaining its small-firm focus. Offerings now encompass legal research, law-firm AI, CRM, and practice-of-law services. The strategy emphasizes contextual integration across calendaring and workflows to improve AI outputs and productivity. The stated goal is to remove silos between business-of-law and practice-of-law functions and to compete with established incumbents and new AI-focused legal technology providers.
