Clio is the most widely deployed legal practice management software for law firms, used by over 150,000 legal professionals to manage matters, client intake, time tracking, billing, and document management. Its AI features bring legal research assistance, document drafting aid, and workflow automation into the core practice management platform.
Clio Duo, the AI legal assistant embedded in Clio, provides AI assistance directly in the practice management workflow — answering questions about client matters, summarising documents, drafting correspondence, and suggesting next steps based on matter status. For attorneys managing dozens of active matters, AI assistance with routine tasks reduces administrative time.
Document automation generates standard legal documents (retainer agreements, demand letters, court filings) from matter data in Clio — inserting client information, dates, and relevant details from the matter record without manual data entry. For document-intensive practice areas, automated document generation significantly reduces drafting time.
Clio Grow, the client intake module, uses AI to qualify prospective clients, schedule consultations, and manage the intake workflow — reducing the administrative burden of managing new business development alongside active matters.
At $49/month/user for EasyStart, Clio is accessible for solo and small firm attorneys who want professional practice management without enterprise software cost.
Clio AI runs as llm assistant software built around text and document workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
