In 2024, Vancouver-based Clio secured a record-breaking USD $900 million Series F funding round, the largest in Canadian history, to drive legal tech innovation.
Today, the company is putting that investment to work with a strategic acquisition.
Clio has acquired ShareDo, a UK-based adaptive work management platform, expanding its reach into larger law firms. This marks a significant step beyond its traditional focus on solo and mid-sized practices, strengthening its position in the growing legal tech market.
Last year, Clio was recognized on Forbes’ 2024 Cloud 100 list, ranking 56th among the world’s top private cloud companies. It was also featured on Fortune’s “Future 50” list, highlighting its strong potential for long-term growth and innovation.
Founded in 2011, ShareDo provides case and matter management software designed to streamline operations and boost efficiency for some of the world’s largest law firms.
The platform allows firms to customize workflows and centralize operations on a single system. Currently serving leading legal practices in the UK, U.S., Canada, and Australia, ShareDo will now benefit from Clio’s industry expertise and global network.
Clio is a member of the BC Tech Association.

“ShareDo has built a powerhouse, proving that large firms are hungry for smarter, faster, and more flexible technology,” said Clio CEO and Founder Jack Newton. “This acquisition isn’t just about entering a new segment—it’s about fundamentally transforming how the legal industry operates.”
ShareDo CEO Ben Nicholson will transition into the role of General Manager, ensuring continuity and further growth. “Clio’s acquisition is a powerful validation of our business and the opportunities ahead,” Nicholson said. “Together, we can revolutionize how large firms leverage cloud technology.”
Looking ahead, Clio plans to accelerate ShareDo’s expansion, particularly in the UK and U.S., over the next year. The acquisition reinforces Clio’s commitment to modernizing legal services with advanced, flexible, and secure technology for firms of all sizes.
