Clio is the most widely used legal practice management platform, pairing case and billing workflows with AI features for drafting, intake, and document handling.
Clio organizes the business side of a law firm: matters, calendars, time tracking, billing, and client communication in one cloud system. Its AI layer extends that foundation with tools that summarize case files, draft routine correspondence, and extract key details from uploaded documents. The client intake module scores leads and automates follow-up, while a large app marketplace connects Clio to the rest of a firm’s stack. Because everything runs in the cloud, solo attorneys and multi-office firms get the same deployment experience.
Firms report that the practical gain is cohesion: time tracked against a matter flows straight to invoices, and client communication lives with the case file. The AI features slot into that structure, summarizing files and drafting letters where the context already exists, which is why the tooling feels faster than bolt-on assistants.

Clio is sold as paid per-user subscriptions across several plan tiers; a free trial lets firms evaluate the workflow before committing.
