“Practice management is efficiency. Intellectual legal work is results.”

This was announced on the opening day of the Clio legal technology conference in Boston: ClioConThe enterprise suite provides software for both the legal and business operations of the customer base that Clio has been targeting for some time. Clio CEO Jack Newton told BetaKit in March that the company had long hoped to expand into large law firms, which he called “a very significant and important segment of the legal market.”
The new suite completes Clio's work in artificial intelligence (AI) over the past year, bringing together Clio Operate, Clio Docket, Clio Library and Vincent by Clio offerings for enterprise customers.
Clio Operate originated from Acquisition of Clio UK-based company ShareDo earlier this year. The work management platform integrates workflow, analytics and collaboration across global teams, helping large law firms manage client requirements while maintaining structure and control. Newton said at the time that the ShareDo acquisition gave Clio a chance to enter the enterprise market “five years or more” ahead of schedule.
The Operate platform is already live in the UK and is launching in the US, with other markets to follow. Meanwhile, the Docket feature provides access to court filings, motions, and procedural updates across jurisdictions. The company says the offering is designed to expand with new forensic data and integrations over time.

Clio said it has added some new features to Vincent for its enterprise customers, including contract drafting, additional integration support and the ability to customize artificial intelligence tools. Clio states that Vincent relies on “authoritative legal sources” and provides accurate and explainable legal work. Hundreds of lawyers were caught and they even fined for using AI tools after their work was exposed in false legal cases.
The company previously said the vLex acquisition was aimed at “accelerating” its artificial intelligence capabilities, and Clio has done just that. Its new Intelligent Work platform integrates the vLex database and Vincent AI across the entire Clio suite of products, transforming AI from a task-focused assistant to running entire jobs within the firm.
“Practice management is about efficiency. Smart legal work is about results,” Newton said.
