Use tool ↗About Clio Work
Clio Work is an AI workspace for legal research, document analysis and case strategy, built by Clio on top of the more than one billion legal documents it gained through acquiring vLex. Lawyers can ask questions against that research library combined with their own firm's matter documents, notes and contacts, and delegate goal-based tasks that the system plans and executes across several steps rather than answering a single query. It covers litigation work (filings, discovery) and transactional work (contracts, policies), runs on SOC 2 and ISO 27001 infrastructure, and does not train models on firm data. Clio Work launched in October 2025 and became a standalone subscription in April 2026, so small firms no longer need Clio's practice-management product to access it. Clio is run by Themis Solutions Inc, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada.

Pros & cons of Clio Work
Clio Work's advantage is scale: a billion-document research corpus from the vLex acquisition combined directly with a firm's own matter files, from a legal tech company with a long operating history rather than an unproven startup. It launched as a $199 per user per month add-on to Clio Manage, which is meaningfully more than lighter legal-research tools aimed at solo practice; the standalone price could not be read on Clio's site in our check.
Pros
- Research draws on a billion-document library from Clio's vLex acquisition, not a smaller proprietary index
- Combines public legal research with a firm's own matter context automatically
- Now available standalone, without requiring Clio's practice-management subscription
Cons
- Launched at $199/user/month as an add-on, more than several lighter legal-research-only tools
- Full value likely depends on also using other parts of the Clio ecosystem for matter data
- Standalone offering is recent (April 2026), so long-term track record outside the bundle is short
Best for
- Solo and small firms wanting legal research and drafting without buying full practice-management software
- Firms that want research grounded in both public case law and their own matter documents
Not for
- Solo practitioners on a tight budget who only need occasional case-law lookups
- Firms already committed to a different practice-management ecosystem
