Clio associates connected AI adoption with higher revenue and utilization

On October 26, 2026, Clio released its vendor-produced Legal Trends Report, reporting that firms using both Clio Work and Clio Manage recorded 10% higher revenue per responsible lawyer, 6.5% more billable hours and collection rates 2.5 percentage points higher than comparable firms not using those products. It also projected utilization at 42% of the workday, or 3.4 hours, up from 39% in 2025. These are associations drawn from Clio’s surveys and operating data, not proof that the products caused the differences. Firm leaders should test whether AI improves realization and margin after software, training and supervision costs rather than using revenue-per-lawyer as a standalone ROI measure.
