Clio and MetLife Legal Plans Announce Strategic Alliance to Support Network Attorneys

Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today announced a strategic alliance with MetLife Legal Plans to support their attorney network, beginning with discounted access to Clio Manage. This includes technical support and ease of access for network attorneys which can lead to stronger insights and perspectives on how to service customers. MetLife Legal Plans will leverage Clio’s subject-matter experts for customized thought leadership and educational experiences for its network attorneys and customers. 

The MetLife Legal Plans Attorney Network includes more than 18,000 attorneys providing legal services across a variety of practice areas, including estate planning, real estate, family law, and consumer matters. The company generates substantial business opportunities for participating firms, and efficiency has a direct impact on a firm’s availability to deliver for its customers. Time spent on intake, conflict checks, document handling, billing, and other administrative work make streamlined operations particularly important for firms managing a high volume of matters.

Clio Manage supports the core workflows firms rely on to run their practice, from intake and matter management, to documents, time tracking, and billing. Bringing that work into one place helps firms reduce manual processes, manage higher matter volumes, and protect more of the time they spend serving clients.

“Every unnecessary step, duplicate entry, or disconnected system adds cost that firms have to absorb,” said Harsha Chandra Shekar, VP, Business Development at Clio. “Across a network of more than 18,000 attorneys, those inefficiencies add up quickly. Clio Manage gives firms a more efficient way to manage work from intake through billing, helping attorneys protect their time and focus more of it on serving clients.”

“Our members rely on the attorneys in our network, which means the quality of what we deliver depends on how well those attorneys are supported,” said Loi Stoddard-Graham, Vice President, Business Growth and Retention at MetLife Legal Plans. “We’re not only offering legal support for members, we’re investing in the practices that serve them. Giving our attorneys access to tools to help manage their business is a direct investment in the experience our members receive.”

Together, Clio and MetLife Legal Plans are focused on helping network attorneys operate more efficiently, strengthen the customer experience, and continue delivering accessible legal support at scale.
