What Buyers Are Saying About Clio

"We went the SharePoint route and built our own case management within the Microsoft 365 ecosystem. Each case gets its own SharePoint page with its key links and documents, Planner handles assignments, and a Power Automate flow turns deadlines on our Outlook calendar into a task on our litigation Planner. We're considering Clio, but we're building out a stronger SharePoint/ M365 setup first. We do miss some of Clio's automation, especially Clio Grow for intake. As for litigation, though, the flexibility has been outstanding. Every case is so different that not everything can be automated, and big plus, our client data doesn't leave M365. It's not perfect, but it's helpful and easier for our less technical team members."

"Yesterday I set up a billing skill in Claude and canceled Clio. I didn't want to pay $60 a month but also I found manually inputting entries stupid. Now I just tell Claude to review my calendar/emails/chat and make an entry for X matter for Y hours/minutes."

Was paying $60 / month · saves $720 a year
