Clio Launches Clio Work in Canada, Legal AI that Understands Matters, their Context, and the Law

Clio Work is purpose-built for the way legal work actually gets done.

Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today launched Clio Work in Canada, AI that understands matters, their context, and the law. Clio Work is grounded in verifiable legal authority, including over 470,000 Canadian cases. 

Since launching in October 2025, Clio Work has become the fastest-adopted product in company history. It arrives in Canada as lawyers move beyond AI experimentation and reach the limits of generic solutions. Clio’s Legal Trends for Canadian Law Firms Report found that 95% of Canadian legal professionals are using AI in some capacity. However, most rely on generic AI tools that were never designed for legal work, let alone Canadian legal work. 

The result is a familiar challenge. Generic AI can help with individual tasks, but every new request requires lawyers to provide the context, confirm the supporting facts and authority, and piece together information from multiple places before they can move the work forward.

Clio Work changes that. By bringing together the full context of the matter with authoritative legal content, Clio Work is AI that helps lawyers identify legal issues, pressure-test arguments, uncover risks and opportunities, shape strategy, determine the strongest path forward, and carry that thinking through to drafting.

“What we’re hearing from lawyers already using Clio Work is relief,” said Luke Slan, General Manager, Canada, Clio. “For the first time, they have an AI that actually knows their work. It feels less like a tool they have to manage and more like a colleague they can rely on for real client work. Tens of thousands of legal professionals are already using Clio Work, and we’re thrilled to bring that experience home to Canadian lawyers.”

Matter-aware AI for end-to-end legal work

Unlike generic AI tools, Clio Work functions inside the matter. It draws on documents, tasks, deadlines, client communications, notes and relevant law to ground outputs in the work at hand, not just a prompt. With it, Canadian legal professionals can:

• Make sense of a matter fast, pulling the key facts, claims, risks, and dates from the details on file.
• Research Canadian law and see how it applies, finding relevant authority with every result linked to its source.
• Pressure-test strategy before committing, weighing strengths, weaknesses, and risks.
• Draft and refine work product, creating new drafts and improving existing ones.

Complex, multi-step tasks can be delegated through simple instructions and the agentic capabilities at the core of Clio Work will plan and execute them. Outputs are generated in sequence while providing full visibility and control at every stage.

Built on Canadian legal data

The Canadian launch follows Clio’s acquisition of Jurisage, the Canadian legal AI and data company behind one of the country’s most comprehensive AI-ready data sets. Its database covers more than 470,000 Canadian cases across 40+ courts and is updated daily, pairing local law with the depth of Clio’s broader library. With Jurisage, Clio Work outputs are traceable to their sources and designed for the lawyer to review. That way, Clio’s legal AI enhances and accelerates work without replacing professional judgment.

“The Jurisage acquisition paved the way for the Canadian launch of Clio Work,” said Jack Newton, CEO and founder of Clio. “No other AI understands both the specifics of a firm’s matters and Canadian law itself. That’s a powerful combination, and we believe it’s going to fuel the future of legal work in Canada.”

Adopters across other regions are already seeing the impact:

“Clio Work really levels the playing field for me. It’s a force multiplier that takes the tedious parts off my plate and helps me focus on the work that matters most.”

“Clio Work isn’t a nice-to-have for me. It’s something I rely on every day, and it’s replaced the generic AI tools I used to depend on.”
