Law practice management company Clio has announced that Lawyaw, the document automation software it purchased last year, will henceforth be known as Clio Draft.
The renaming signifies a deepened integration of products and services following the acquisition, according to Clio.
Clio’s founder and CEO Jack Newton stated that “Uniting under the Clio banner gives us a clear focus on delivering value to our customers.” The unified branding also positions Clio to improve future capabilities in legal document innovation by consolidating and centralizing its efforts.
Newton also revealed that Clio will keep investing in and expanding its services for document automation, viewing this as a critical part of its multi-product platform.
Even with the rebranding, Clio Draft will retain Lawyaw’s user interface and features. As per Clio, these include:
- Document automation for generating complex legal documents.
- Collaborative editing for legal teams, enabling co-authoring and editing of documents.
- Integration with other Clio products and third-party apps to enhance functionality.
- Secure storage for documents.
- Court form libraries that cover over 50 jurisdictions, offering pre-saved sets of standard forms, and the capability to auto-populate client and matter info.
- E-signature capabilities with a secure audit trail for providing status updates about pending and submitted signatures.
Since taking over Lawyaw, Clio has put resources into broadening the software’s scope and functionality. This includes the expansion of its court form libraries to cover all 50 states, as well as federal immigration forms.
Clio has also grown the team dedicated to building and supporting this product by over 50%. Under the new Clio Draft brand, the company reaffirms its commitment to continuing to invest and expand its document innovation capabilities.
