New product features in Clio

  • A flexible, simple, and faster way to split bills

    With split billing in Clio Manage, you can split a bill for a matter between multiple payers, giving you the flexibility to bill based on your practice area needs. 

    Split billing is a quick and efficient process that starts with adding all payers to a matter, generating a bill with time and expense activities, and then sending each payer their own bill showing their amount owing.
