The legal industry stands at a pivotal moment with data analytics, machine learning, and breakthrough developments in generative AI that are redefining how legal work is conducted. Along with generative capabilities across a wide spectrum of tasks, Clio Duo will help legal professionals connect the dots across their business and extract meaningful, actionable insights.

"Generative AI defines a new era for Clio's growth journey, and is empowering us to usher in a new wave of innovation to Clio's industry-leading platform" said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio.

We are committed to providing our customers with this cutting edge technology to fuel their law firm, while upholding our principles of responsible data stewardship and transparency at every step."

This is the company's first step into generative AI offerings for customers, in a years-long transformative journey that will change how legal professionals value their time and effort towards a wide array of legal tasks. Clio is building a suite of AI-powered products to help its customers be more productive and deliver better experiences to their clients. In the coming years, Clio plans to offer these products platform-wide.

When available to the market, Clio Duo's audit log functionality will offer tracking of all AI activity to be logged and discoverable—a foundational aspect of responsible and sustainable legal AI practice that Clio is spearheading.

"The future of AI powered solutions start with privacy and security at their core," said Jonathan Watson, Chief Technology Officer at Clio.
