Clio Named to Fortune’s The Future 50 List

The distinction underscores Clio’s pivotal role in shaping the future of legal services and technology on a global scale.

Clio, the global leader in legal technology, has been named to Fortune’s The Future 50 List for the second consecutive year. The list, created in partnership with Fortune and Boston Consulting Group, evaluated more than 2,800 publicly traded companies with at least $5 billion in market value, over 150 privately held firms with more than $1 billion in funding, and more than 50 additional private firms with workforces exceeding 20,000 employees. This year’s list arrives at a time of rapid change for global businesses, as shifts in trade, rising costs, and the acceleration of AI reshape markets. The Future 50 highlights the companies best prepared to turn these challenges into opportunities for growth.

This recognition validates Clio’s long-term growth strategy and sustained market leadership. It reflects a year marked by global expansion and product innovation, and further strengthened its position as one of the few Canadian companies to appear on the list. Joining this year’s Future 50 places Clio in the company of global leaders such as Snowflake, Databricks, and OpenAI.

Over the past year, Clio has accelerated its mission to transform the legal experience for all by expanding the reach and depth of its technology. The company announced a landmark definitive agreement to acquire vLex, one of the world’s most comprehensive legal research platforms, with a vision to bring together Clio’s leadership in legal operations with vLex’s vast global legal library. This can create new possibilities in legal research, knowledge management, and AI-driven innovation, setting a new standard for what an integrated legal technology platform can deliver.

Clio has also advanced its product capabilities to support the unique needs of larger and more complex law firms. Through its strategic acquisition of ShareDo, a leading enterprise legal work management platform, Clio is extending its reach beyond practice management into the broader operating system for modern legal organisations. At the same time, the company has deepened its focus on AI, introducing intelligent tools that automate time-consuming tasks, surface key insights, and enable lawyers to focus on higher-value work.

These initiatives have been matched by recognition on the global stage. Alongside its second consecutive inclusion in the Fortune Future 50, Clio was also named to the Forbes Cloud 100, a testament to its momentum as one of the world’s most innovative cloud companies. Together, these milestones represent a transformative chapter in Clio’s growth and highlight its role in shaping the future of legal services.

“Being named to Fortune’s Future 50 is an exciting recognition of Clio’s vision to transform one of the world’s most important industries,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. “It highlights the scale of what we’ve built and the conviction we have in where we are headed. By setting the pace for innovation, growth, and long-term impact, Clio is reimagining what legal services can be and building the foundation for the industry’s future. This recognition affirms our position as leader in driving innovation and transformation on a global scale.”

Using more than 10 million data points across 25 metrics, Fortune and BCG assessed what they call “corporate vitality,” which reflects a company’s ability to adapt, innovate, and grow even in times of uncertainty. Since its launch in 2017, the Future 50 has been regarded as a predictor of lasting success, consistently highlighting organizations that go on to set the pace for their industries and shape the markets of tomorrow. By joining this list, Clio stands among an elite group of companies recognised for their ability to innovate, lead, and build with a vision for the future.

Looking ahead, Clio remains focused on delivering meaningful innovation to legal professionals worldwide. With expanded AI capabilities, new product introductions, and continued international growth, the company is preparing for another year of impact.
