Our story
-
It all began in Canada—with a big idea, a strong friendship, and a vision for a better future for legal services.
In 2008, Jack Newton, a computer science graduate from the University of Alberta, made a defining choice. After being accepted into a prestigious PhD program under artificial intelligence pioneer Geoffrey Hinton, Jack decided to take a different path. Rather than pursue academia, he teamed up with his childhood friend Rian Gauvreau, who had been working at Gowling, to solve a problem they both saw clearly: the legal industry was stuck in the past.

Together, from their roots on Canada’s West Coast, Jack and Rian built Clio—the world’s first cloud-native legal practice management platform. Their goal was simple but revolutionary: to help law firms run more efficiently, serve their clients better, and open the door to a more accessible legal system.
Launching Clio during the 2008 financial crisis wasn’t easy. Raising early funding meant asking family, friends, and bold Canadian investors to take a leap of faith. Every step of the way, it was Canadian resilience, optimism, and innovation that powered Clio forward.
Today, Clio proudly calls Canada home, with offices in Burnaby, Toronto, and Calgary—and we’ve expanded our reach globally with teams in Dublin, Manchester, and Sydney.
