Clio Work overview

Clio Work is an AI-powered legal workspace for research, analysis, strategy, and drafting. Launched as a standalone product in April 2026, it is available to Australian law firms with or without a Clio Manage subscription. Clio Work is powered by Clio Library — a curated database of over one billion legal documents from more than 100 jurisdictions, updated daily with 350,000+ changes — and features Cert, a built-in citator that confirms every authority is current good law before it reaches the user. Unlike generic AI tools that operate on a query-by-query basis, Clio Work uses the full context of a matter — documents, notes, communications, and case files — to deliver cited research, strategic analysis, and draft outlines grounded in the specific facts of each case. It is designed for both litigators and transactional lawyers, and integrates directly with Clio Manage to pull in matter data automatically and save results back to the right file.

Key capabilities

Clio Work's core differentiator is matter-context AI: rather than responding to isolated prompts, it reads across an entire matter to identify what happened, where things stand, and what matters most. Its Clio Library provides access to over one billion verified legal documents across 100+ jurisdictions, while the Cert citator ensures every cited authority remains good law. For litigators, it reviews discovery and pleadings, surfaces precedent, flags gaps in opposing arguments, and drafts motions grounded in case facts. For transactional lawyers, it extracts key contract terms, spots risks and missing clauses, compares drafts, and produces client-ready summaries. Available standalone since April 2026, making it accessible to firms that do not use Clio Manage.
