Clio Once Again Named One of Canada's Best Managed Companies
March 7, 2019
Clio was awarded the prestigious designation due to key milestones that include a company acquisition, new product launch, and accelerated team growth and investment.
Vancouver, BC—Clio, the leader in cloud-based legal technology, is proud to once again be named a winner of the Canada’s Best Managed Companies program in 2019. This prestigious designation recognizes companies with revenues of over $15 million that demonstrate innovative and world-class business practices and commit to achieving sustained growth.
“Best Managed companies are elevating Canada’s place on the world-stage,” said Peter Brown, Partner, Deloitte and Co-Leader, Canada’s Best Managed Companies program. “By broadening their network, and thinking globally, the Best Managed program is honouring these winners for their achievements in Canadian business, and growing influence worldwide.”
“For Clio, this past year saw major growth, and it’s wonderful to be recognized for it in our Canada’s Best Managed designation in 2019,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Co-founder of Clio. “We’ve greatly increased our customer base, our team is thriving, and we launched a brand new product, Clio Grow, in the past year—and we’re excited about what’s in store for the coming year.”
Since its inaugural designation as one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies in 2018, Clio announced the acquisition of Lexicata, which lay the foundation for the launch of a new product called Clio Grow, a client intake and legal customer relationship management (CRM) software. Together with Clio Manage, Clio’s existing practice management software, the two products form the Clio Suite, the legal industry’s first end-to-end software solution designed to help firms manage the full end-to-end client experience.
Clio was once again selected for the award in part due to the company’s efforts to lead industry conversations at events like the Clio Cloud Conference, the largest legal technology event in the world. Founded by Clio, the conference provides inspirational speakers and educational sessions to help lawyers run more successful law firms with technology. The event also showcases groundbreaking research published in the annual Legal Trends Report, the first-ever report to use aggregated and anonymized user data to provide never before seen insights on running a legal practice.
The company’s long-term investment in its talent was also a major focus for Clio’s award application. In the past year, Clio increased investment in its rapidly growing staff by expanding education allowances, giving staff more opportunities to enroll in educational classes, attend industry events, and purchase resources in pursuit of new skills and learning—in addition to a full-time, in-house performance coach and a tailor-made, six-week Foundational Leadership Development Program. Clio also provides competitive financial compensation, stock options, RRSP contribution matching, thoughtful parental leave, excellent health benefits including proactive mental health programs, and a minimum of three weeks of paid vacation.
The Best Managed award also showcases Clio’s growing influence on the world-stage. Clio expanded its global market and recently became the first completely cloud-based legal case management solution to earn the endorsement of the Law Society of England and Wales—home to one of the largest legal markets in the world. The company has also grown its App Directory to include nearly 150 integration partners, giving its customers the ability to connect to more solutions than any other legal software.
Now in its 26th year, Canada’s Best Managed Companies is one of the country’s leading business awards programs recognizing Canadian-owned and managed companies for innovative, world-class business practices. Every year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies compete for this designation in a rigorous and independent process that evaluates the calibre of their management abilities and practices.
