Themis Solutions Inc., operating as Clio, develops cloud-based practice management software for law firms. Founded in 2008 by Jack Newton and Rian Gauvreau, the company is headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, and debuted its platform at the ABA TECHSHOW in March 2008 as one of the first fully cloud-based legal practice management systems.
Clio's product line covers the operational side of a law practice: Clio Manage handles matters, time tracking, billing, and trust accounting; Clio Grow, built from the 2018 Lexicata acquisition, handles client intake and CRM; Clio Draft provides document automation; and Clio Duo adds AI assistance. The company reports more than 400,000 legal professionals using its software across over 130 countries, with approvals from more than 100 bar associations and law societies.
Clio has raised more than $1.7 billion in total funding, including a $250 million Series D in 2019, a $900 million Series F in July 2024 at a $3 billion valuation, and a $500 million Series G in November 2025 led by New Enterprise Associates that valued the company at $5 billion, alongside a $350 million debt facility led by Blackstone and Blue Owl Capital. In November 2025 the company completed its $1 billion acquisition of legal research and AI company vLex, adding the Vincent AI platform. Clio employs more than 1,000 people.

Who Themis Solutions Inc. competes with, and how they differ.
MyCase (owned by 8am, the practice-management/payments roll-up formerly branded AffiniPay) targets the same solo-to-small-firm segment as Clio, but has not built Clio's AI legal-research/drafting stack from the vLex and Jurisage acquisitions or Clio's enterprise tier for large firms (ShareDo).
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedPracticePanther is a lower-priced, streamlined practice-management alternative aimed at solo and small-firm lawyers; it lacks Clio's AI legal-research stack (vLex, Jurisage) and Clio's enterprise-tier product for large firms (ShareDo).
Rocket Matter (owned by ProfitSolv, which also owns CosmoLex) offers case, billing, and payment management for small firms, competing directly with Clio's core practice-management product but without Clio's AI research acquisitions or large-firm enterprise offering.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedHarvey sells AI legal research, drafting, and workflow tools directly to large law firms and in-house teams, competing with Clio's post-vLex AI ambitions in Big Law, but has no practice-management or billing product of its own.
1 product reviewed on TopReviewedLegora is an AI legal-work platform for large firms (drafting, review, research) that recently acquired Vancouver's Walter, putting it in direct competition with Clio's AI push on Clio's home turf, though Legora has no practice-management software.
