# Our Mission

We are building the world’s leading legal AI to _**transform the legal experience for all**_.

### Hear from our CEO and Founder Jack Newton

At Clio, we believe—on a foundational level—that we have a responsibility to change the world around us with our words, our choices, and our actions. We envision a world in which our legal and judicial systems promote justice in the truest sense of the word—a world in which it is easy for anyone who needs legal services to access them; for lawyers to have the freedom to practice the way they want; and for underrepresented groups in our society to get the advocacy they deserve.

Being the market leader for legal technology means that we have an added responsibility to set the tone for the next generation—and to help ensure that the technology shaping legal experiences is also serving the greater good.

By focusing on the legal experience, Clio’s mission encompasses every stakeholder within our legal and judicial systems—from legal professionals to legal organizations, clients, and consumers. This encompasses more than improving our software products; it’s about the larger impact we can have on the legal experience, on a global scale.

At the core of our philosophy is the belief that the future of legal services is cloud-based and client-centered, and that fostering these advancements will drive positive social change. By centralizing and simplifying business operations for law firms and enabling legal professionals to connect with clients anywhere, anytime, we can transform the ways in which legal services are sought out and delivered. This is an opportunity for a paradigm shift, requiring lawyers to adopt a client-centered approach to pricing, packaging, and delivering legal services. We believe doing this will break down barriers to legal services for consumers and make it easier for clients and law firms to work together more thoughtfully and effectively. It’s time to create a more inclusive legal community and a more equitable legal system.

On behalf of everyone at Clio, we are thrilled to be on this journey of transforming the legal experience for all—with you.

Sincerely,

#### Supporting the industry’s move to the cloud

Data from our _2020 Legal Trends Report_, shows a massive adoption of cloud-based technology among law firms, with the vast majority (85%) using software to manage their practice, and 79% of lawyers relying on cloud-based technology to store their data. By way of our 24/5 support team, migrations team, and everyone at Clio, we are ensuring legal professionals’ move to the cloud is a successful one.

#### Planning for the future

This shift to the cloud isn’t temporary: it’s the future reality for the industry and a critical factor if firms want to survive and thrive as we build a better normal. We actively invest resources into understanding what the future holds, and building solutions that will support it.

## Enabling remote work

With integrations like Zoom, Dialpad, and Microsoft Teams, we’re equipping firms with the right legal collaboration tools that help improve communication and visibility, and that take in-person and offline processes online—helping firms grow their business from anywhere.

## Building solutions for legal clients

Our consumer-facing app, Clio for Clients, allows clients of Clio lawyers to receive updates and documents—and communicate with their lawyer—through one secure app designed specifically for them.

As the leading cloud-based legal technology company, we’re helping clients understand how to navigate the legal system and how to meet client needs, while also building the foundation for creating better, more efficient, and more client-centered legal practices.

## Researching industry trends

Our annual Legal Trends Report, the industry’s leading study of anonymized and aggregated data from tens of thousands of legal professionals, analyzes major factors affecting the future of the industry—and which characteristics the most successful firms have in common.

## Providing firms with personalized, actionable insights

Our Law Firm Insights Dashboard makes it easier for legal professionals to understand key metrics like their utilization, realization, and collection rates.

## Partnering with industry leaders

We partner with bar associations, law societies, legal clinics, and law schools to offer educational resources, legal technology, and financial aid to the global legal community.

## Supporting the community

This includes financially supporting organizations like the Social Justice Initiative, partnering with the ABA, NYSBA, Paladin, and LegalZoom to create pro bono portals for those in need, and investing in programs that support the mental health of lawyers.

## Investing in the future

We’re also empowering the next generation of legal professionals through the [Clio Academic Access Program](https://www.clio.com/partnerships/academic-access/) (CAAP), investing in legal tech innovators through the [Integration awards](https://www.clio.com/partnerships/developers/integration-awards/), and bringing the community together to talk about the most pressing issues facing the industry at the annual [Clio Cloud Conference](https://cliocloudconference.com/).
