Auckland – 29 July 2025 – Clio, the global leader in legal technology, has officially launched Clio Duo across New Zealand and the APAC region. This marks a major step forward in the company’s vision to transform the legal experience for all—bringing powerful, purpose-built AI into the hands of legal professionals.
Clio Duo is an intelligent legal partner embedded directly within the world’s most robust practice management platform, helping lawyers reclaim their time and elevate their impact. By automating repetitive work, extracting key insights from documents, and surfacing smart recommendations, Clio Duo empowers firms to increase productivity, enhance client service, and drive profitability.
“We’re thrilled to introduce Clio Duo to the market—a powerful AI built on a foundation of trust and value for legal professionals,” said Denise Farmer, General Manager, APAC at Clio. “Law firms across New Zealand are eager for secure, integrated, and genuinely useful AI solutions. With its deep integration with Clio Manage and strong focus on privacy, Clio Duo empowers firms to enhance operations without compromising client trust or ethical obligations. This launch comes at the perfect time for a market poised to lead in legal tech adoption.”
Clio Duo helps firms accelerate casework, reduce admin burdens, and make more informed decisions with ease. It supports legal professionals by automating common tasks—like drafting emails, retrieving matter details, generating summaries, and recommending time entries—so they can focus on high-value work.
Early access firms in APAC have already seen results. Clio Duo helps them close cases faster, respond to clients more promptly, and reduce time spent on manual document review. It’s doing more than improving efficiency—it’s driving growth.
Unlike open-source AI tools, Clio Duo is purpose-built for legal professionals. It draws only from a firm’s existing Clio data and never trains on client information. Every action is logged for auditability, and firm-wide permission controls ensure that users only see what they’re authorised to view—supporting compliance and trust at every step.
This launch also comes as AI adoption among legal professionals is rapidly accelerating. According to Clio’s latest Legal Trends Report, 79% of firms are already using AI in some capacity—and more than 80% expect to increase their usage over the next 12 months. Clients are also on board: 70% now say they are open to or prefer working with law firms that use AI.
Clio Duo is now available to all Clio Manage customers in New Zealand, and across the APAC region.
