5 reasons why law firms are switching from LawMaster to Clio
Surprisingly simple, user-friendly and intuitive interface
Clio provides a user-friendly and intuitive interface. Clio’s dashboard is designed for ease of use, allowing legal professionals to quickly access and manage their cases, documents, billing, and client communications. With a mobile-friendly approach, Clio ensures that you can manage your practice from anywhere, anytime, with a seamless experience across devices, laptops or phones.
On Capterra, one user describes LawMaster’s usability difficult, stating: “Features and processes are difficult to find; menu items are generally not named as you would expect and sometimes have different names in different areas”
Clear, transparent pricing
Similar to Actionstep who has now acquired LawMaster, their pricing is not publicly available and can be somewhat unclear. To get an exact price, you typically need to contact LawMaster directly for a demo to learn more.
In contrast, Clio offers clear and transparent pricing with plans starting from just $39 per user per month. Clio’s straightforward pricing structure allows you to easily understand your costs and choose a plan that fits your firm’s needs without any surprises.
Superior customer support
Clio offers superior customer support, available 24/5 by phone, email, and live chat. In addition to real-time support, Clio provides an extensive online help centre with articles and video tutorials. This comprehensive support system ensures that Clio users can quickly resolve any issues and get the most out of the software. To contact LawMaster you can only fill out a form, email them or call a number which requires you to leave a message for someone to get back to you. This can be seen as frustrating to customers who need real-time support.
Comprehensive training
LawMaster does not provide any visible training on their website. Conversely, Clio offers a more comprehensive training program, including 24/5 customer support, detailed online help centre articles and live chat. Clio’s commitment to user success is unmatched in the industry.
Clio offers a free trial—no credit card needed
You wouldn’t buy a car without test-driving it first. Case management software should be no different. You can try Clio for free for seven days, with absolutely no commitments. You don’t even have to enter your credit card information. LawMaster doesn’t offer you this option. How can you be sure their software is for you?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Clio assist me with data migration?
Yes. Our Migration Specialists can assist in bringing over your data from LawMaster to Clio so that you don’t have to manually do it yourself.
This is available for all customers except those on the EasyStart Plan.
How long does the data migration process take?
The success of any data migration depends on the quality of the data provided to us. Before we migrate your information into Clio, you should ensure that your data is consistently formatted, well-organised, sufficiently backed up, and stored securely. If you’re uncertain about the quality of your data, it’s recommended that you consult with your Clio Migration Specialist before proceeding.
Is customer support included in my Clio subscription?
Yes, we do not charge additionally for support and product updates. You get personalised support from an award-winning team at no extra cost.
Is Clio a cloud-based program?
Yes. Clio is a cloud-based solution which means that all you need is an internet connection and a browser (such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, or Microsoft Edge) to run Clio remotely.
Does Clio integrate with industry standard accounting software?
Yes! Clio integrates with Xero and QuickBooks to ensure that your transactions are in sync and disbursements are accounted for—while giving you full visibility into your firm’s operating accounts and client money.
Is mattero part of LawMaster?
Mattero was part of LawMaster. The mattero software targeted small and medium law firms, whilst LawMaster is more suited to larger firms. However, in May 2023, mattero stopped accepting any new clients and the product has since been terminated as of December 2023.
What is LawMaster & Mattero software used for?
Now acquired by Actionstep, LawMaster offers a comprehensive practice management software solution for high volume, commercial legal enterprises.
Similarly, mattero provided a mobile solution that simplified matter management to maximise performance and legal-life balance. The mattero cloud-based tool adapted as caseload grew or practitioners may transfer their database to LawMaster if a larger scale solution is required.
Is Clio the right case solution for my firm if I used mattero?
Yes absolutely! Both platforms offer case and matter management tools tailored to legal practices, but Clio’s advanced features might give your firm more flexibility as you grow. In addition to what mattero offered, Clio also offers:
- Scalability: Clio is well-suited for both small firms and larger practices, providing room for growth.
- Integration: It integrates with a variety of third-party apps, making it easier to streamline workflows.
- Client-Focused Features: Clio includes a client portal, allowing for easier communication and file sharing.
