Clio is the category-defining practice management platform for lawyers, used by over 150,000 legal professionals across 90+ countries. The platform provides a centralized system for cases, billing, intake, and client communications — with Manage AI (formerly Clio Duo) embedded directly to automate routine administrative work.
Unlike standalone legal AI that requires exporting documents to a separate tool, Manage AI works within the same system where matter data, billing records, and communications already live. It extracts court deadlines into calendar events, drafts invoices from billing activity, summarizes matters with relevant history, and generates client updates — all without the lawyer leaving Clio.
Best fit: solo practitioners, small firms, and mid-size practices that value operational integration over deep specialist AI. Particularly strong for firms whose primary friction is administrative overhead rather than contract or research depth.
Pricing starts at $39/user/month with tiered plans up to $149/user/month, plus free trials. AI features are bundled with most Manage tiers, though Premium tiers unlock advanced capabilities.
Clio occupies a unique position: not a specialist AI tool but an operational backbone with growing AI capabilities. Choose it when consolidating tools matters more than best-in-class AI features.
