Global legal AI provider Clio has launched its AI-powered legal workspace, Clio Work, in Australia, following its rollout across New Zealand and Singapore.
Clio has expanded its AI-powered legal offering into Australia with the launch of Clio Work, bringing its AI-driven legal workspace to Australian lawyers as firms increasingly look to embed artificial intelligence into their everyday work.
The global legal AI provider said Clio Work has become the “fastest-adopted product in company history”, with tens of thousands of legal professionals around the world now using Clio Work since its debut in October 2025.
The Australian launch on 18 August marks the latest step in Clio’s regional expansion, following the rollout of the product in New Zealand and Singapore earlier this year.
Clio Work is designed to operate within individual legal matters, bringing together case documents, work history, and authoritative Australian legal content to help lawyers identify key issues, assess risks, and shape their strategy.
The AI-powered workspace can also assist with complex legal tasks, including research and drafting, allowing lawyers to take a matter from initial analysis through to a finished work product without constantly switching between different platforms.
In a statement, Clio said its decision to bring Clio Work to Australia comes as AI adoption continues to accelerate across the profession, while Australian lawyers are increasingly “hitting the limits of generic tools”.
The platform can be accessed as a standalone offering or integrated into Clio’s Intelligent Legal Work Platform, giving firms flexibility in how they incorporate the technology into their existing workflows.
Denise Farmer, general manager, APAC, at Clio, said Clio Work marks a shift away from generic AI, giving Australian lawyers technology that understands the full context of a matter and the legal rules governing it.
“Australian firms are embracing AI, but most tools lack the context to deliver maximum impact,” Farmer said.
“Clio Work knows the facts and history of the matter, and pairs that knowledge with the authority that actually governs. This is the AI that Australian lawyers have been waiting for.”
According to Clio’s Australian Legal Insights Report 2026, AI adoption has become almost universal across the legal profession, with 98 per cent of legal professionals now using the technology in some capacity.
However, that adoption remains fragmented, with lawyers often turning to a patchwork of tools for individual tasks – including generic non-legal AI (59 per cent), document drafting and automation platforms (46 per cent), and legal research technology (44 per cent) – rather than integrating AI across an entire matter.
Pointing to Australian firms as some of the fastest adopters of AI, Clio CEO and founder Jack Newton said Clio Work could bring the technology out of the margins of legal practice and into the heart of individual matters, fundamentally changing how lawyers work.
“Australian firms have been among the quickest anywhere to put AI to work,” Newton said.
“Clio Work presents lawyers with the opportunity to move AI from the margins of the practice into the actual matter. That’s where AI stops being a novelty and starts changing how the work gets done.”
