Clio and BakerHostetler Announce Collaboration That Embeds Key Vincent Capabilities Into the Firm’s Legal Intelligence Strategy

Firm-built intelligence platform connects matter data, legal research and AI-powered workflows to support client service.

Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today announced a strategic collaboration with BakerHostetler to support the continued advancement of the firm’s Practice Intelligence Center, known as PIC. The first-of-its-kind, firm-built platform connects enterprise data, legal knowledge, attorney experience, and artificial intelligence-enabled workflows in a secure, governed environment.

Among its first capabilities is Matter Research+, a research tool developed through BakerHostetler’s collaboration with Vincent by Clio. Matter Research+ brings together the firm’s proprietary matter intelligence and AI-powered legal research while safeguarding client data.

“BakerHostetler has a clear vision for how legal intelligence and AI should work together,” said Dan Hoadley, senior director, product management at Clio. “Our collaboration demonstrates what is possible when powerful research capabilities are integrated directly into attorney workflows rather than operating as standalone tools. Together, we are helping create a more connected and dynamic matter management experience.”

The collaboration  brings Vincent into the firm’s broader intelligence environment, helping attorneys access research and insights that support client service. The work builds on BakerHostetler’s investment in PIC and its broader commitment to innovation as part of its long-term strategy.

“The legal industry is evolving quickly, and our responsibility is to make sure BakerHostetler continues to provide clients with outstanding service in an increasingly complex environment,” said Paul Schmidt, Chair of BakerHostetler. “Practice Intelligence Center represents a long-term investment in how we connect information, support our attorneys and deliver value to clients.”

“The goal of Practice Intelligence Center is simple: Make it easier for our attorneys to access the right information at the right time,” said Katherine Lowry, chief information officer at BakerHostetler and executive sponsor of PIC. “By connecting matter intelligence, research capabilities, firm resources and AI, we are strengthening the quality and depth of the insights available to our attorneys. This helps them make more informed decisions, draw on the firm’s collective experience and better serve clients. Matter Research+ is one early example of that vision in action.”

Vincent brings authoritative research together with firm knowledge and matter context, giving lawyers a more complete foundation for complex legal work. It reflects Clio’s broader approach to making legal AI more deeply embedded in the systems and workflows firms rely on.
