Founded in 2008, Clio brought the first cloud-based legal practice management software to law firms. With over 900 staff, we are the leader in legal tech innovation with a mission to transform the legal experience for all.

Rocket Matter

An unintuitive mix of features

Rocket Matter has an unintuitive and dated design that makes simple tasks difficult. A customer was quoted comparing using RocketMatter to “driving an old used car held together with duct tape”.

The industry’s most powerful features

Clio has the most robust, yet easy-to-use practice management software in the industry and is constantly introducing new features. We stand by our product. The Clio platform is financially backed by our 99.9% uptime guarantee.

Rocket Matter

A handful of integrations

Rocket Matter has fewer than 20 integrations available. A lack of integrations can lead to double-entry which slows firms down and increases the risk for human error. These also make it difficult to scale the firm as business needs grow. Rocket Matter isn’t equipped to grow with your firm.

Works with your essential tools

Clio gives you everything your firm needs, and connects with all your essential tools, including Microsoft Outlook and Teams, Google’s Gmail and Google My Business, and Zoom. With over 200+ integrations available, Clio gives you the ability to grow and adapt to meet the future needs of your law firm.
