Global cloud-based legal technology provider Clio has acquired UK-based provider ShareDo as it looks to offer a fully comprehensive solution for law firms of all sizes.
Clio has acquired ShareDo, a UK-based provider of cloud-based enterprise software for large law firms, which will further expand Clio’s global footprint and “underscore the ripe opportunity” for innovation within this large and underserved segment of the legal profession.
In a statement, Clio said that it is “doubling down” on its mission to transform the legal experience for all, with a focus on delivering advanced, flexible, and secure technology for large law firms now and in the future.
It plans to accelerate ShareDo’s expansion in the UK and priority international markets, including the United States, in the coming year.
Manchester-headquartered ShareDo, which was founded in 2011, produces case and matter management software designed to streamline work processes, enhance efficiency, and maximise profitability for mid to large firms, including dozens of the largest law firms in the UK and a growing base in the United States, Canada, and Australia.
The news follows the provider’s launch of Clio Payments in Australia in November, as well as its securing of a US$900 million investment following a US$3 billion valuation in July.
Clio founder and chief executive Jack Newton (pictured) said: “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.”
“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 entire 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,” he said.
Ben Nicholson – ShareDo’s founder and chief executive, who will now step into a new role as Clio’s general manager of 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-obsessed global company, I believe we can revolutionise the way in which large law firms leverage cloud technology for the good of all.”
