Clio unveils a new scale of innovation across legal AI

One year after acquiring vLex, Clio is entering a new phase of global growth, advancing legal AI, expanding its international footprint, and building a platform designed to serve the full breadth of the legal profession and the institutions that shape it.

Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today unveiled a wave of product and company innovation that reflects a year of significant evolution across its platform, global business, and reach across the legal profession.

The vLex acquisition marked a defining step in Clio’s evolution and a clear bet on the future of legal technology: that authoritative legal information should be connected directly to the systems lawyers use to manage their firms, matters, and work. By bringing vLex’s global legal database and AI capabilities into Clio’s platform, the company set out to connect the law with the context, knowledge, and workflows that shape legal decisions.

Less than a year after completing the acquisition in November 2025, that thesis is taking shape across Clio, expanding what the platform can do, broadening the organizations it is built to serve, and accelerating the company’s growth across global markets.

Clio has surpassed US$500 million in annual recurring revenue and continues to expand rapidly across the legal market, serving organizations from solo and small firms to the world’s largest law firms, government organizations, and corporate legal departments. That growth is being matched by a broader global footprint, with more than 2,000 employees across offices in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, including a new United States headquarters in New York.

“A year ago, we made a defining bet that context would determine the future of legal AI,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. “A model on its own can only take you so far. Give it the world’s legal knowledge, the context of the matter, and an understanding of how an organization works, and entirely new capabilities become possible. That was the vision behind bringing Clio and vLex together, and just a year after signing our intent to acquire, we’re seeing it come to life across our platform and our business.”

One platform that brings the full context of legal work together

Over the past year, Clio has accelerated product development around a clear direction for legal AI, bringing more of the context that shapes legal work directly into the platform. Recent product launches have advanced that strategy across three areas: authoritative law, the organization’s own standards and methodologies, and the evolving context of the matter itself.

Clio’s governed legal database provides the authoritative foundation behind that work. The launch of Docket Insights extends it with live United States court activity, giving litigators access to current developments alongside primary and secondary law as they research, assess risk, and shape strategy.

Clio has also expanded how AI can reflect an organization’s standards, methodologies, and ways of working. With Vincent Studio, Skills, and Memory, firms and corporate legal departments carry their own standards, methodologies, and accumulated expertise into recurring legal work, while Clio for Word brings that context directly into drafting and review.

Most recently, and at the center of those advances, is the launch of Vincent in Clio Operate, bringing research, analysis, drafting, and agentic capabilities into the platform where complex legal work is built, run, and closed. Because Clio Operate preserves the facts, history, decisions, standards, and ways of working developed over the life of a matter, Vincent can draw on that organizational record alongside Clio’s governed legal library to help lawyers identify risks, develop strategy, and determine the strongest path forward.

Taken together, these advances are bringing the full context of legal work into one platform, connecting authoritative law, organizational knowledge, and matter context so each can inform the work as it evolves.

“The speed and breadth of what Clio has built over the past year reflect the scale of the opportunity ahead,” said Ronnie Gurion, President and COO at Clio. “We have entered new markets, expanded the organizations we serve, grown our global presence, and turned major investments in AI into capabilities lawyers can use today. What is coming together across Clio gives us the ability to innovate across the legal profession at a level that was not possible even a year ago.”

From serving law firms to shaping the broader legal system

Clio’s growing presence among large law firms and corporate legal departments is also opening a new frontier beyond legal practice itself, extending into the institutions responsible for interpreting and administering the law.

Clio is establishing a new business dedicated to serving courts and the judiciary, led by newly appointed Senior Vice President, Judiciary Pablo Arredondo, one of the pioneers of modern legal AI.

The move represents a natural extension of the platform Clio has assembled. The same foundation that allows Clio to connect authoritative law with the work of legal organizations creates an opportunity to build technology for the institutions responsible for interpreting and administering that law.

“The judiciary is one of the most consequential places this technology can go next,” said Arredondo. “But building for courts requires a fundamentally different standard. Judicial independence, integrity, rigor, and trust have to be part of the foundation. Clio has assembled an extraordinary combination of legal data, AI, and legal technology, and we now have an opportunity to apply that foundation thoughtfully to a part of the legal system that has historically been underserved by technology.”

One year into a much bigger vision

The progress of the past year has positioned Clio to pursue a much larger opportunity: bringing together the technology, legal knowledge, and context required to fundamentally change how legal work moves through the profession and the institutions around it. As those capabilities converge, Clio is building toward a future where technology plays a more active role in advancing legal work, expanding what legal professionals can accomplish and opening the door to entirely new categories of legal technology.

“The future of legal AI will be defined by how deeply it understands the work around it,” said Newton. “We have spent the past year building the foundation for that future. Now we have the opportunity to create entirely new categories of technology, expand what legal professionals are capable of delivering, and redefine what a legal technology platform can be.”
