Open the matter, skip the briefing

It reasons from your matter files and the law Clio publishes. The context is already in place, so the results match your lawyers' own work.

From the question to an answer you can verify

Vincent pairs the question with the facts, issues and the jurisdiction, then ties every answer to authority you can open and check.

  • Ask in the matter’s own terms: multi-jurisdictional surveys and comparisons, run against your facts.
  • Open the authority: every answer cites law you can read, in the jurisdictions your practice covers.
  • Review the history: judicial treatment around comparable issues.

Review the volume, then draft from what you found

Query documents against key questions and turn findings into a first draft, all in one workflow.

  • Review in a table: every answer is traceable to its source.
  • Check the authority behind it: Authority Match flags each citation as matched, close, or not found, so you know what to rely on.
  • Carry the review into the draft: move from review to draft, with Clio for Word applying your firm’s standards to each clause.

Pick up where your team left off

Legal work depends on more than one person. A Project gives your team a shared starting place so a matter keeps moving, regardless of who is working on it next.

  • Skip the catch-up: Join a project part way through and see what's already happened, moving the matter along.
  • See the shared record: Every conversation, document, and output your team generates on a project lives in one place.
  • Know who did what: The activity log timestamps every member’s action, so you can check in without having to ask around.
  • Work the way your team already does: Choose a matter project for a case or deal, or a general project for anything that isn't tied to one.

We can have a higher level of consistency, a higher level of quality because we’ve already, essentially, pre-trained Vincent to do things in a way that that client loves.

One team’s method becomes everyone’s starting point

A senior lawyer's approach to a familiar issue stops living in their head. Subsequent teams build from it rather than from scratch.

  • Encode a proven approach in a skill to make it repeatable, and the thinking behind it stays visible to whoever uses it.
  • Build multi-step workflows in Studio, configured without code, by the people who own the method.
  • Review incoming agreements against a custom Playbook, so your review requirements and professional obligations apply to every document.

Everything Vincent does, where it works and what it reasons from

Research, first draft, resolution: the matter keeps its context the whole way.

Legal research

Primary and secondary law: the law Clio publishes and maintains, with editorial oversight and daily updates.

Document analysis

Vincent Tables: many documents against many questions, every answer traceable to its source.

Collections: a working set of documents Vincent reasons across as one body rather than one at a time.

Drafting

Legal Pad: a structured first pass from the facts, the authority and your own precedent.

Editor: revision in place, with the authority behind each change visible.

Clio for Word: Vincent works inside Word, on the document already open.

Mobile

Mobile app: research, review and matter context on a phone, between hearings and meetings.

Collaboration

Vincent Projects: work held together across a matter, so the thinking does not sit with one person.

Vincent Rooms: a bounded space for one question, with the sources and the working visible to the team.

Connectors

Outlook integration: correspondence and instructions reasoned over without leaving the inbox.

Surfaces you work in

Word, Outlook, Teams, the browser and mobile.

Sources it reasons from

Clio Library, your document management system, and the live matter record where the firm runs Clio Operate.

Built for privileged work

Your material is not used to train models, and every AI action is logged.

Implementation modelled on your practice

The pilot

A bounded scope on real matters, with a named success owner, not an open trial.

First practice group

The group that will use it most, so adoption is proven where it counts.

Across the organization

Rolled out on what the first group learned, with the Skills they built.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about running complex legal work on Vincent.

Which models does Vincent use?

Vincent uses a mix of the latest models from the leading LLM providers. Our team constantly evaluates the latest models to ensure that Vincent uses the most effective models available.

Is Vincent sold on its own?

Yes. Vincent is available without Clio Operate and is the route for in-house legal teams. Where a firm runs Clio Operate, Vincent is part of it rather than an addition to it, and reasons from the live matter record.

What will Vincent not answer?

While Vincent can help with some general queries, it has guardrails in place that ensure most interactions pertain to legal questions.

Does it train on our documents?

No. Zero-retention agreements are in place with the model providers, and your material is not used to train any model, ours or theirs. The commitment sits in the contract, not only in this answer.

How current is the law?

Clio publishes and maintains the library itself, with editorial oversight and daily updates across 20+ countries. Citations carry judicial treatment so you can see whether the authority still stands.
