Clio is a comprehensive web-based practice management product specifically designed for solo practitioners and small-to-medium-sized law firms. Clio can be accessed using PCs and Macs as well as mobile devices including iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices.

Secure and easy-to-use, Clio provides case/matter management, time tracking, billing/reporting, client contact and document management, task scheduling, trust accounting, and detailed reporting. In addition, Clio includes Clio Connect, a secure portal for exchanging information and collaborating with clients, and Clio Express, an offline time capture application.

On the heels of launching its Clio Platform and integrations with Chrometa and ZenCash, solo and small firm lawyers using Clio can now share Activity descriptions, and set rates at the User, Matter and Client level. These features help solo and small firm lawyers see not only what they’re spending and making on Client-related Matters, but also on administrative tasks and other non-Client Matters.

In addition to granular rate control, Clio announced improved flat fee support. Users can more easily set flat rates, or use other alternative billing methods instead of the typical hourly billing method.

“Capturing time is a challenge for any solo and small firm lawyer, and we’ve made it easier to do so. Being able to set rates at both the Matter and Client level adds another layer of flexibility so that solos and small firm lawyers can easily bill at a flat rate, or see how much time it really takes to complete a Matter before opting for a flat rate. The easier it is for them to get a handle on their time and bill appropriate, the more successful their firms become,” said Clio co-founder and CEO Jack Newton.

Clio also announced improvements to Clio Express. First introduced at ABA TECHSHOW in 2009, Clio Express has evolved into a time keeping tool that tracks time when offline, and syncs when there’s an Internet connection. Solo and small firm lawyers can work on the go even without Internet, and not have to worry about tracking and recording time.

A big change in Clio Express is its upgrade from Adobe AIR to HTML5. Instead of being a desktop app, Clio Express runs through Google Chrome, even when your offline. No need to run another desktop app. You can track time in Chrome as you keep working.

Currently Clio Express is only available through the Google Chrome Web Store.

“Many of us are so used to always have the Internet at our fingertips, it can be frustrating to not have it, whether on a plane or stuck at an airport with no Wi-Fi or even during an extended power outage. Clio Express gives our users that added flexibility to still record time spent on client work even when they don’t have Internet,” Newton said.

With Clio Express, granular rate control and improved flat fee support, Clio gives solo and small firm lawyers the tools necessary to track time and record time, and better manage their businesses.

CHICAGO, IL and VANCOUVER, BC — March 29, 2012 — This week at ABA TECHSHOW 2012, Clio announced the Illinois State Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas have selected Clio as the exclusive cloud-based practice management provider for their respective member benefits programs.

Clio is the leading provider of secure, affordable cloud-based practice management, time & billing and client collaboration tools for small- to mid-sized firms. Because Clio is cloud-based, law firms can securely access their data from any Internet-connected device, be it a PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet.

John G. Locallo, 2011-2012 ISBA president, commented on the importance of practice management software: “Lawyers who aren’t using practice management software to track time and billing, manage documents, avoid conflicts, and meet make-or-break deadlines are making a huge mistake, one that could lead to a malpractice payout or even ARDC-imposed discipline.”

The Illinois State Bar Association and the State Bar of Texas join over 15 bar associations offering Clio as a member benefit, including the Alabama State Bar, Colorado Bar Association, Connecticut Bar Association, Hawaii State Bar Association, Indiana State Bar Association, Maryland State Bar Association, New Jersey State Bar Association, New York State Bar Association, North Carolina Bar Association, South Carolina Bar and State Bar of Michigan.

“The legal space is ripe for disruption,” said Boris Wertz, Acton’s Vancouver- based Venture Partner and a new member of Clio’s Board of Directors. “Although this industry has traditionally been regarded as slow to adopt technological changes, recent investments show it’s now ready to benefit from technological innovations like cloud computing. We believe that Clio can take advantage of this tremendous opportunity by implementing their vision of moving the legal industry to the cloud.”

According to the American Bar Association, more than 80 percent of the law firm market is made up of solo practitioners or small firms. “With few support staff and no IT departments, these professionals are often overwhelmed by the administrative side of their business,” said Clio Founder and CEO Jack Newton. “Clio is designed specifically for these lawyers. By moving their practice management to the cloud, we give these lawyers tools to manage their practices and build client relationships that are both more secure and more collaborative.”

Clio will use this new funding to extend its product leadership position, aggressively developing new functionalities and supporting its growing customer base. In addition, the company aims to expand its footprint beyond the U.S. (which currently represents 95% of Clio’s sales) into other markets including Europe, Canada and Australia.

“Clio has seen incredible growth since our launch nearly four years ago because legal professionals have recognized that, through the cloud, we can deliver unprecedented levels of mobility, security and efficiency to their practices,” said Newton. “We look forward to using this latest financing to deliver a broad range of exciting new features to our users while continuing to deliver the world-class support they have come to expect.”

Vancouver, BC – December 15, 2011 – The 2011 Clio Apple in Law Firms Survey results have been tabulated and 763 people participated, 80% of which were practicing lawyers and 20% of which were law students or non-lawyers.  76% of respondents were lawyers at firms with 10 attorneys or less. Many of the survey respondents were relative Mac newcomers: 25.3% of respondents had switched to Mac within the past year.

Co-sponsored by MILOfest, this year’s results show that Apple products are going strong and gaining ground with small firm lawyers at the expense of previously dominant legal technology players, such as Research in Motion.

Widely-used products in the survey included iPhones, used by 60.9% of respondents; Dropbox, used by 25% of respondents; iCloud, seeing high adoption at 15%; and Android phones with usage at 13%.  Evernote, a note-taking app not included in last year’s survey, debuted at 14% usage.  OpenOffice had gained 2 percentage points since last year, showing that open source technology is appealing to solo and small law firms.  Clio showed a 22% adoption rate, more than double the 2010 adoption rate.

Why are lawyers continuing to “go Mac”?  46.5% of respondents said they chose Apple hardware over PC options because the technology was more reliable and secure.  Usability was next on at 33.8%.  Familiarity due to home use of Apple/Mac products was 9.8%, and surprisingly aesthetics and design came in fourth at only 3%.

76.5% of law students said that when they graduate, they plan on choosing a Mac platform for their office.  This statistic shows that Mac has a bright future in legal, since the new generation graduating is heavily Apple-oriented.

“This is the second year Clio has conducted this Apple in Law Firms survey to benchmark the degree of adoption of Apple products and other emerging technology in the legal industry,” said Clio CEO and Co-Founder Jack Newton.  “Apple hardware and devices – especially the iPad and iPhone – continue to capture the attention and dollars of lawyers, cloud-based applications have won attorneys’ confidence and gained more traction.  With the majority of law students planning to use Mac apps in their law practices upon graduation, we can reasonably predict a longstanding trend toward continued expansion of Apple products within the legal industry.”

All legal professionals and law students were invited to participate in the survey, regardless of size and location. The survey aimed to determine to what extent lawyers and law students are now using Apple products, and whether there is clear evidence of an increasing trend of the legal industry “going Mac” in the future.For more information on the 2011 Clio Apple in Law Firms Survey or to receive the complete survey results, e-mail info@goclio.com.

(Vancouver, BC, CA and Chicago, IL, USA – December 5, 2011) – Editors of the ABA Journal announced they have selected Small Firm Innovation as one of the top 100 best law blogs by lawyers, for lawyers.

Now readers are being asked to vote on their favorites in each of the 5th Annual Blawg 100’s 12 categories. Go to http://www.abajournal.com/blawg100 to register and vote. Voting ends at close of business on Dec. 30, 2011.

Launched in early 2011, Small Firm Innovation focuses on the business aspect of running a law practice, and the nitty gritty of what has made a solo and small firm practice a success. Its Contributors include well known, successful solo and small firm lawyers, first time solo and small firm lawyers and newly-graduated lawyers hanging out their own shingles.

“Blogging has become an important, even vital, source of information, education, entertainment and inspiration in the legal community. Whether written by practicing lawyers, law students, judges or law professors, blawgs are becoming more bold, more sophisticated and more integrated into the everyday experience of the profession,” said Allen Pusey, editor and publisher of the ABA Journal. “And choosing just 100 of the best from our directory of 3,500 legal blogs is becoming an increasingly daunting task.”

Small Firm Innovation was created in the wake of the financial crisis that forced many fresh law school graduates and seasoned lawyers to start solo and small law firms. Many found themselves unequipped to run a business.

“We started Small Firm Innovation in an effort to help lawyers fill the void between graduating law school and starting their own law firm,” said Gwynne Monahan, editor of Small Firm Innovation. “Our Contributors are incredibly helpful and generous in sharing their knowledge of creating and running a successful solo or small law firm. We’re honored to be included in the ABA Journal’s Blawg 100.”

About Small Firm Innovation
Small Firm Innovation focuses on two areas: the business aspect of running a law practice, and the nitty gritty of what has made a solo and small firm practice a success. From seasoned and successful lawyers to the newly graduated, Small Firm Innovation emphasizes practical solutions for real-world challenges faced by solo and small firm lawyers. Monthly themes centered around first person accounts of small firm success creates a dynamic exchange of ready-to-implement ideas.

According to a recent Forrester Report, Apple products appear to be enjoying a larger adoption rate in the legal space as attorneys and legal staff are increasingly bringing their technology of choice to work.  All legal professionals, law students and MILOfest attendees are invited to participate in the survey.

Available online at http://macsurvey.questionpro.com, the Clio Mac Survey will remain open through Wednesday, November 30th at 5pm EST, and the tabulated results will be presented by Clio CEO Jack Newton the following week of Monday, December 5th.  Clio will also be giving away a free iPad 2 to a randomly selected survey respondent.

The Clio Apple in Law Offices Survey will gather data regarding the extent of lawyers’ current or intended migration to Macs or Apple products by focusing on the following areas:

• Operating System Choice: Mac vs. Windows OS
• Mobile device preferences: iPhone vs. Blackberry vs. Droid and others
• Plans to purchase iPads and other Apple/Mac hardware and software in 2012
• Cloud-based vs. desktop application usage in the law office

Clio CEO and Founder Jack Newton explains, “From our vantage point, we’ve seen the use of Macs, iPhone and iPads in law firms increase dramatically over the past year.  Lawyers are using iPads and their accompanying legal apps more and more, so we’re excited to collect data charting this trend to see what’s really happening in the industry as a whole.  We are extremely happy to welcome MILOfest as co-sponsor of the survey this year.”

MILOfest organizer Victor Medina says, “We are very pleased that Clio chose to launch its second annual Mac Survey at MILOfest this year, and are happy to be a co-sponsor of the survey as well.  We are seeing a great expansion in attorneys bringing Mac products into the office and this study will provide research regarding the extent of this trend.”
