About Kate Rattray

Kate Rattray is a writer, editor, and non-practicing lawyer. She is a prolific writer on topics important to lawyers wanting to run their firms better, and on current events in the legal industry. After beginning her career as a litigator focused on insurance defense, Kate found that her passion was in harnessing her writing skills to help other lawyers succeed in their careers. She took a role as a legal editor at the Continuing Legal Education Society of BC, and picked up freelance clients on the side, writing expertly crafted articles about topics relevant to the legal profession.

When Kate joined Clio, she quickly became a go-to person, not only for her legal perspective, but for her sharp editing skills and ability to clarify the heart of the topic. Kate has written about everything from legal software, to law school requirements, to the latest trends affecting the legal industry such as ChatGPT and AI more generally.

Kate is a lead writer for Clio’s Legal Trends Report, including our flagship report as well as editions for solo and small law firms and mid-sized law firms. Her deep understanding of legal practice and the impact of technology on law firms makes her a recognized industry expert and a go-to voice on how the legal landscape is evolving.

In addition to the Clio blog, the Legal Trends Report (and many ghostwritten articles on law firm websites), Kate has been published in the Journal of Legal Education, Hearsay (a publication of Canadian Defence Lawyers), and The Lupine Review literary magazine.
