Clio Acquires ShareDo to Enter Enterprise Legal Market
Clio, a global leader in cloud-based legal technology, announces the strategic acquisition of ShareDo, a cutting-edge adaptive work management platform trusted by the world’s largest law firms. This acquisition expands its global footprint by building on Clio’s steady growth in the mid-market segment as a leading provider to mid-market law firms. It underscores the significant opportunity for innovation within this large and underserved segment of the legal industry.
Headquartered in Manchester, UK, ShareDo produces case and matter management software to streamline work processes, enhance efficiency, and maximise profitability for mid-sized to large firms. Founded in 2011, it serves many of the world’s leading firms, including dozens of the largest law firms in the UK and an expanding base in the United States, Canada, and Australia. It enables firms to fully customise their system to match their unique needs while centralising operations on a unified platform.
Clio is reinforcing its commitment to transforming the legal experience for all, focusing on delivering advanced, flexible, and secure technology for large law firms now and in the future. An established category leader in cloud-based practice management for solo, small, and mid-sized law firms, Clio unlocks new market potential with this acquisition to serve firms of all sizes. The company plans to accelerate ShareDo’s expansion in the UK and key international markets, including the United States, in the coming year.
“ShareDo has built a powerhouse, proving that large firms are hungry for smarter, faster, and more flexible technology. With Clio’s industry-leading platform and expertise, we’re scaling that success even further—delivering the innovation and efficiency these firms demand,” said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. “We’ve spent years expanding upmarket, transforming how law firms operate across countries, practice areas, and sizes. But this acquisition is about more than expanding into a new segment; we’re driving a fundamental shift in how the legal industry operates. The large law firm market is on the brink of a major shift, and this acquisition cements our role in leading that change.”
ShareDo’s CEO and Founder, Ben Nicholson, will be the General Manager of ShareDo, ensuring continuity and expansion of services for customers and prospects.
Commenting on the successful acquisition and his new role, Benjamin Nicholson, Clio’s new GM, ShareDo said: “Clio’s acquisition is a powerful validation of our business and the significant opportunities for market and product expansion ahead. I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished at ShareDo as a team and couldn’t be more excited to take this to the next level with a partner such as Clio. With the backing of such a dynamic customer-centric global company, we can revolutionise how large law firms leverage cloud technology for the good of all.”
As Clio and ShareDo move forward, they focus on providing superior quality solutions, expert consultation, and exceptional client service. The acquisition will present customers and partners with greater value and a more extensive range of solutions to meet their ever-changing needs.
