Biglaw Firm Signs Deal, Proving Clio's Enterprise Play Already Has Legs - Above the Law
""Our partnership with vLex is a natural fit: Its legal data and workflows will enrich our environment, amplifying our ability to deliver intelligent, transformative solutions for clients," said Katherine Lowry, Chief Information Officer at BakerHostetler. "We're entering a phase where AI isn't just a tool - it's part of operations. We're focused on connecting AI to the data we already trust, both internally and externally, to drive better decisions and outcomes.""
""We're a couple weeks removed from Clio's big announcement that it intends to enter the enterprise market, adding a whole new division to work with Biglaw and major corporate departments, and basically all we've talked about ever since is "can they really pull this off?" Biglaw is a different animal. Biglaw moves slower. Biglaw doesn't purchase software the way small law does. It's a bold vision, but can they execute? And on and on.""
""But this deal smuggles in a little extra baggage when you remember that vLex is on the verge - pending almost certain regulatory approval - to become part of Clio. We're a couple weeks removed from Clio's big announcement that it intends to enter the enterprise market, adding a whole new division to work with Biglaw and major corporate departments,""
BakerHostetler entered a strategic three-year partnership to deploy vLex's Vincent AI across its 18 offices to provide legal-specific AI to attorneys. The firm plans to integrate vLex's legal data and workflows into existing systems to improve decision-making and client outcomes. Chief Information Officer Katherine Lowry framed AI as becoming part of operations and emphasized connecting AI to trusted internal and external data. The timing coincides with vLex's pending acquisition by Clio and Clio's announced push into the enterprise market serving Biglaw and corporate legal departments. Questions remain about Clio's ability to execute in Biglaw given different procurement and buying patterns.
