Announcing LawCharge for Clio ClientConnect
We’re happy to announce a partnership with LawCharge and the launch of LawCharge for Clio ClientConnect. LawCharge is the leading merchant account provider for the legal industry. LawCharge for Clio ClientConnect allows law firms to receive payments from clients via Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover.
We chose LawCharge as a partner because they offer several unique features to attorneys. Most notably, LawCharge allows attorneys to accept IOLTA-compliant trust account transactions via credit card. LawCharge accomplishes this by allowing attorneys to specify, based on the nature of the deposit, whether a given transaction gets deposited into your operating account or trust account. LawCharge also keeps deposits and merchant fees separate, allowing lawyers to properly segregate operating and trust funds, thereby adhering to IOLTA trust accounting rules.
To enable LawCharge for Clio ClientConnect all you need to do is log into your Clio account visit “Settings | Online Payment”. If you don’t have a Clio account you can always sign up for a free 30-day trial – all accounts include Clio ClientConnect.

This sounds great! I am going to check that out right away. Looks like there were a couple of other updates today as well – like an improved look for the tabs for matters? Either that or my mac was morphing the look of things.
Keep up the great work. I love Clio and think it is a fantastic addition to my firm.
