Two years ago, Clio, a law practice management company, made an intriguing proposition: it offered to pay law firms up to six months of their contracts with competitor platforms if they switched over to Clio’s platform.
Recently, Clio has decided to reintroduce this initiative, self-named its Break Free Program. This program is particularly focused on what Clio perceives as outdated systems and the binding nature of long-term contracts.
From the present until April 30, 2024, law firms unhappy with their current legal practice management software and encumbered by long-term contracts can contact Clio for assistance in settling the remaining cost of their contract—with a credit of up to half a year’s worth of free Clio software,” Clio discloses.
In addition to covering the contract’s remaining charges, Clio declares they will also transfer a firm’s data free of charge. For those cautious about making the swap, they can arrange a demo and receive a $100 gift card.
However, firms must satisfy specific criteria to be eligible for the offer:
- They must be a new subscriber to Clio.
- They must provide evidence of an existing contract with another law practice management software provider.
- They must have at least three months remaining on the contract.
- They need to buy an annual subscription to Clio Manage at any of its three subscription levels: Essentials, Advanced, or Complete.
Firms that meet these requirements will be given a one-time reduction on their Clio subscription. The final amount will be dependent on the firm and will be calculated based on the residual value of the previous contract. The amount will range between the equivalence of 30 to 180 days of Clio services.
Clio articulates on its Break Free Program landing page that their primary targets are customers of Caret, LEAP, Cosmolex, PCLaw, MyCase, and Smokeball, although the offer is by no means exclusive to customers of these products.
