Our story
Where did it all begin?
Ten years ago, lifelong pals Jack Newton and Rian Gauvreau decided to start a company. Some say never mix business with friends, but we think things turned out well.
What is Clio’s mission?
Transform the practice of law, for good. There’s no guesswork when it comes to what we’re trying to achieve here.
What’s it like working at Clio?
It’s fun. It’s challenging. It’s rewarding. If you’re ready to do some of the best work of your career, Clio’s for you.
What are we proud of?
We’re innovative, but thoughtful about it. We update our product a lot, but it’s based on real research. We want to deliver a solution that actually helps our customers. Otherwise, what’s the point?
