Clio

What is Clio?

‍

Clio is a cloud-based legal practice management platform designed for law firms and legal teams to manage cases, clients, documents, billing, and communications in one centralized system. It is widely used by attorneys, legal operations teams, and support staff to streamline case workflows and improve operational efficiency.

As Clio adoption grows across legal organizations, access extends to attorneys, paralegals, and administrative staff. With that access comes exposure to sensitive client data, case files, and billing information—making Clio a critical system to manage under centralized identity and access governance.

Where Clio license management goes wrong without integration

‍

Per-user licensing scales quickly in law firms
Every attorney, paralegal, or assistant added increases recurring monthly cost.

Support staff still consume full licenses
Non-billable users often require full access, even if they use limited features.

Add-ons increase license complexity
Features like Clio Grow, Clio Draft, and Clio Accounting are often billed separately, increasing total cost.

No visibility into real user activity
Firms struggle to identify who actively manages cases vs inactive users.

Overlapping tools outside Clio stack
Many firms still use external tools (billing, document automation, intake systems), duplicating cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

‍

How does Clio licensing work?

Clio uses a per-user subscription model, where each user requires a seat depending on the plan (EasyStart, Essentials, Advanced, Expand).

Does every employee need a Clio license?

Yes, most users (lawyers, paralegals, assistants) require individual access depending on role and permissions.

Are Clio add-ons included in the license?

No. Products like Clio Grow, Clio Draft, and Clio Accounting are often billed separately.

Can Clio licenses be optimized?

Yes. Many firms overpay for inactive users or unnecessary plan upgrades.

Can Corma reduce Clio licensing costs?

Yes. It identifies inactive users, optimizes seat usage, and prevents unnecessary add-on expansion.
