At Clio, we are on a mission to transform the legal experience for all. We pride ourselves on creating meaningful impact, while developing our team both in and outside of Clio, and having a lot of fun along the way.
Create a legacy with impact
With our client-centered mindset and cloud-based technology, we provide a more seamless connection between people that need legal support and the professionals that provide it, while designing for a better client experience. We enable law firms to run more resourcefully, from anywhere, creating efficiencies from client intake to payment, and enabling payment and service structures that make their offerings accessible to more people. This breaks down barriers for firms and clients to collaborate, allowing them to work together more thoughtfully and effectively.
As a market leader for legal technology, we believe we have an added responsibility to set the tone for the next generation, ensuring we also serve the greater good. We fundamentally believe that equity and justice are critical pillars of the legal and judicial system and we are committed to use our platform to advocate for a more inclusive legal community and a more equitable legal system.
This year we secured a $100M Series E round, and made history as the first legal tech unicorn–further enabling our team to move toward our mission to transform the legal experience for all. Furthermore, the pandemic was a catalyst for sweeping changes in the adoption of cloud-based technology in virtually all industries, and the legal profession is no exception. The accelerated move towards a digital-first mentality caused an important shift in consumer behaviours and expectations.
We are spearheading a new era of legal service, one that is client-centered in its approach to addressing the needs of the legal market, and one that will unlock massive potential within the latent market for legal services.
250 roles in 250 days
Clio employs over 600 full-time individuals across Canada, the United States, and Ireland. Building off the momentum of our Series E announcement, we declared an audacious goal to grow our team by 250 roles in the remaining 250 days of 2021–that’s a 40% increase. We’re looking for changemakers, impact drivers, and history makers to help take us to the next level, so we can transform the legal experience for all, together.

We invest in your growth
Real growth happens here. At Clio, we’re proving that it is possible to build and scale a human and high-performing company culture. Meaning, we believe that you thrive when you are both challenged and supported to do your best work. We show up as our authentic selves and are united by our shared purpose.
We value our team’s growth both personally and professionally. We invest in programs like in-house performance coaching, mentorship and training, and support further learning through course and book reimbursement.
Our thoughtful benefits program encompasses mental and physical wellness, and support in building your future. We offer company equity, RRSP-matching, 4 week minimum vacation, parental leave for new parents, and customizable extended health benefits (including $2000 per year to spend on counselling).
#TeamClio
We have a digital-first approach to our mindset and our infrastructure–with the choice to work remotely or, when they reopen, from one of our thoughtfully designed office spaces in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, or Dublin. In support of our distributed model, we offer a one-time $500 allowance to outfit an employee’s home office and a $150 monthly wellness benefit that they can use towards their remote work and wellness needs.
We’re apart and we’re connected more than ever. More than just virtual meetings, we take the time to meaningfully connect with our fellow Clions. We join regularly scheduled company all-hands, cross-department mingles, quarterly hack-a-thons, employee-led resource groups, special events, and enjoy a very lively Slack community where we dig into everything from Fortnite to felines.
We believe in winning together as a team. One of the ways we put that value into practice is by offering all Clions company equity, and it’s paying off. We’ve been in the global spotlight as we’ve scaled, and in 2021 Clio announced our Series E investment, making history by becoming the first legal practice management unicorn globally (valued at US$1.6B). This marks a milestone in our growth journey and positions us strategically for future growth.
We are individually ourselves, united by our purpose. Our award-winning culture is built on the belief that better solutions are built by people who bring a variety of perspectives, share different skills, and come from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Our diversity, inclusion, belonging and equality (DIBE) Council and Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) encourage awareness, inclusion, and meaningful connections through facilitating monthly discussion groups and partnering with leading experts, like Women in Tech, Women in Leadership, Black Professionals in Tech, LGBTQ2+ community leaders, and more, to further learnings and best practices.
Clio was recently recognized as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies – Gold Standard (Deloitte), Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies, and Elpha’s Top Workplaces for Women, YWCA Women of Distinction Award for Outstanding Workplace
Our Product and Engineering Team
We’re agile, dynamic and committed to Living a Learning Mindset. We have a mix of new and existing teams that are working to solve challenging problems. Although this is one of the biggest teams, everyone plays a unique and important role, and has the opportunity to influence our product roadmap.
We’re very good at embracing change. If things aren’t working, we scrap it and make it better. Instead of seeing roadblocks, we see these as opportunities for innovation and problem-solving—and we’re always encouraged and supported to do so by the best people in the industry.
Supporting our communities
Communities are great when they’re great for everyone. That’s why we started the Clio Gives Program, where we donate 1% of our profits, 1% of our product, and 1% of employee time (that’s 2.5 days per person) to volunteer every year.
With the help of the cloud, a world-class team, and a relentless focus on their customers, Clio is transforming the legal experience for all and has donated over $40 million of free product access over the last twelve years to legal clinics, paralegal programs, nonprofits, and law schools through the Clio Academic Access Program. Additionally, Clio has partnered with local organizations such as Equity Leaders BOOK Club, Get REAL, DMS Vancouver, Launching Into Tech, Tech Loves Pride, Women in Tech Sales, Canada Learning Code, Women Who Code, and Chic Geek.
Other examples include:
- COVID-19 Relief Initiative: In 2020, Clio launched a $1 million COVID-19 Legal Relief Initiative to help provide educational resources, free and discounted software, and direct financial assistance to help firms navigate the difficulties brought on by the pandemic. To date, we have contributed $1.1M USD to over 1,300 law firms.
- Equal Justice Initiative: Clio donated $100,000 to the Equal Justice Initiative, which works to end mass incarceration, excessive punishment, and racial inequality. Clio is on a mission to transform the legal experience for all, which means taking responsibility for enacting positive social change in our industry and community.
