The round was led by New Enterprise Associates, with continued support from TCV, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Sixth Street Growth, and JMI Equity.

Clio also secured a $350 million debt facility, with Blackstone and Blue Owl Capital leading that portion.

The company plans to use the new capital to build out its AI features and make more strategic acquisitions.

This follows a $900 million raise last year, when the company was valued at $3 billion.

Clio also confirmed it has finalized a $1 billion acquisition of vLex, a global legal research platform.

Top Highlights From ClioCon 2025

At ClioCon 2025, the company introduced new tools aimed at making legal work faster and less manual.

Clio Operate was launched for larger firms needing more flexibility, while Clio Library was added as a built-in legal research tool.

Clio also unveiled Vincent, an AI assistant for legal tasks, and Manage AI, which automates day-to-day firm operations.

Updates to Clio Draft and upcoming features in Clio Grow continue that focus, bringing more automation to documents, intake, and conflict checks.

The event also included findings from the Legal Trends Report and recognized this year’s Reisman and Integration Award winners.

Clio Legal Launches New Financial Tools to Redefine Law Firm Management

On October 16, Clio rolled out two new financial tools: Pay Later with Affirm and Clio Capital.

Both are built to make payments easier for clients and help firms manage cash flow more effectively.

Pay Later lets approved clients split legal fees into monthly or biweekly payments with no hidden fees.

Clio Capital gives firms fast access to funding when they need it. Since both tools are built into Clio Payments and Clio Manage, firms can keep billing, trust accounting, and compliance in one place.

Conclusion

Clio is signaling that it’s thinking beyond legal software. Its recent moves point to a company building the infrastructure law firms will need as the industry keeps shifting toward automation and integrated systems.
