You would be hard pressed to find a Canadian in the legal-tech realm who has not heard of Clio.
When Clio launched in 2008 at ABA TECHSHOW, no one could have predicted its significant impact on the legal industry.
The Vancouver-based company has since grown into a global force in legal technology, with over 150,000 customers in more than 100 countries.
In 2022, Clio announced centaur status—a title reserved for private SaaS companies with more than US$100 million in annual recurring revenue.
The next year, the company celebrated its 15th anniversary amid expansion into new markets.
The most recent milestone the B.C. legal-tech titan is marking on its calendar is one related to talent: Clio has surpassed 1,000 employees worldwide.
Despite many tech firms slowing down hiring if not laying off staff within the last couple of years due to various economic headwinds, Clio has more or less chugged ahead.
Data shows that the company’s workforce expanded by 15% in 2023—and it also grew through 2021 as well as in 2022.
And moving forward, Clip anticipates hiring for at least 100 new roles this year, maintaining its steady growth.
These roles span “every department,” the company says, from engineering to sales to product design—and “most roles are available as ‘flexible hybrid.'”
Most of the team operates from Clio’s five offices: Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto house staff in Canada while Dublin and Sydney serve as international hubs.
Clio’s corporate culture emphasizes “human connection and peak performance,” according to the company, providing resources that support employees in achieving goals.
It’s all part of a master plan for chief executive officer Jack Newton, who intends for Clio to endure beyond a century.
“Our goal is to be a 100-year company,” Newton stated last year, “and we will continue to evolve to stay at the forefront of legal-tech innovation.”
