AMA on r/legaltech

2025-12-19 — Jack Newton (CEO & Founder)

Fourth vendor AMA on r/legaltech. 2 hours. Jack addressed the controversial Scorpion partnership, billing flexibility, the vLex and ShareDo acquisitions, and dropped the line that the billable hour is the structural blocker. 'Context is King' as Clio's moat strategy. Verbatim recap on rlegaltech.com.

Top questions answered:

↑5 · u/coolegaltechgeek
I watched your keynote presentation from ClioCon and saw you mention a new feature that uses AI to build templates/precedents
↑4 · u/BadDense2323
At what point does a legal platform become a decision-maker rather than a tool, and is that a line you want to cross
↑4 · u/LiquidSquidMan69
Can we get more customization with task types and stages
