Manage and delegate your tasks

Get more done—individually and as a team with Clio’s task management software for lawyers.

  • Get insight into how a matter is progressing

    See all tasks for a legal matter, organised by due date, so you can stay on top of legal task management. Quickly identify the next task to be done, and see which tasks are overdue.

  • Collaborate on tasks with anyone

    Assign and delegate tasks to other users at your law firm, or to outside parties through our secure client portal. Your clients can see the tasks assigned to them, receive task reminders, and mark tasks as completed.

  • Set custom task categories

    Add as many custom task categories as you want using Advanced Tasks, or pull from existing task categories. Use these categories to standardise your law firm’s legal task management processes.

  • Stay on top of your to-do list

    See your upcoming and overdue tasks on our main dashboard. View and mark tasks complete right from your calendar. Create tasks on your mobile phone, and create multiple reminders that appear minutes or weeks in advance.

Improve your law firm’s productivity

Use Clio’s legal task management software to get more insight into your firm’s work in progress, increase your utilisation rate, and forecast staff workloads. Use it as a legal task delegation software to assign work to specific members of the team.

  • Create standardised task lists

    Build a series of tasks based on how your law firm processes different types of cases. Plus, you can now set relative task deadlines, duplicate lists, and assign and delegate task lists to law firm members from inside a matter.

  • Predict staff availability and case budgets

    Add time estimates to tasks so you can forecast the amount of work needed for a legal case. Track estimates against actual time worked to better predict legal budgets for clients.

  • Bill more hours

    Add time entries directly from a legal task, and see which tasks are missing a time entry.
