Clio Payments Now Available in Canada: A Message from Jack Newton

Clio has always been at the forefront of innovation in legal technology. As the leader in the shift towards online legal services, we’re driving change in the way law firms manage their cases, retain clients, and accept payments.

Today, we’re excited to bring Clio Payments to our Canadian customers. Now our Canadian customers will be able to accept online payments through an all-in-one platform, Clio Manage, that provides a transparent and real-time view of transactions.

With Clio Payments, we’re transforming the legal experience for all, and an essential part of that means making payments frictionless for both lawyers and their clients.

While the legal industry has gone through a transformational and positive shift in response to the challenges faced in recent years, getting paid is still the strongest point of friction in the attorney-client relationship. Since launching Clio Payments in the US, we’ve seen the tremendous impact of streamlining this crucial touchpoint for our customers—Law firms are getting paid faster, and the client experience is improved as well—so we’re thrilled to now offer this functionality to our Canadian customers as well. Clio payments will enable our Canadian customers to dramatically improve the financial performance of their firms while helping them to deliver an effortless client experience. Ultimately, this will help make legal services more accessible to Canadians.

Today, with Clio Payments, Canadian customers can:

• Start getting paid online within Clio, all while being fully compliant with legal industry rules for trust accounting.
• Make your services more accessible by offering Payment Plans that allow clients to pay bills in manageable installments.
• Make paying as easy as possible by accommodating your clients’ preferences for how to pay, whether that’s through your website, in-person, or over text message or email.
• Speed up future payments by allowing law firms to safely request and store payment information up front or any point in time.
• Save time with automatic recording of payments and a convenient sync to your accounting platform

It’s time for your law firm to collect payments in a single place, where they’re kept secure and where managing them is effortless. It’s time to give your clients what they want—and they want online, flexible payment options that feel like the low-friction eCommerce checkout experiences they’re used to.

Clio Payments is the gold standard for how legal payments should work. Whether you’re a solo practitioner or whether you’re managing thousands of cases, Clio gets you paid so you can focus on what matters—your clients.
