ShareDo has been acquired by Clio

In a landmark deal in the legal software sector, ShareDo, a UK-based provider of a cutting-edge SaaS work management platform, trusted by the world’s largest law firms, has been acquired by Clio, a global leader in cloud-based legal technology.

Building on Clio’s industry-leading platform and expertise, this acquisition will allow Clio to offer a fully comprehensive solution for law firms of all sizes as well as expand its global footprint. Clio will use this acquisition to accelerate ShareDo’s expansion in the UK and priority international markets, including the USA, in the coming year. The combined entity will present customers and partners with even greater value and a more extensive range of solutions to meet their ever-changing needs.

Headquartered in Manchester, UK, ShareDo develops case and matter management software designed to streamline work processes, improve efficiency and maximize profitability for mid-to-large firms. Founded in 2011, the company serves many of the world’s top global firms, including many of the largest law firms in the UK, and has a growing presence in the USA, Canada and Australia. ShareDo allows firms to fully customize their system to meet their specific needs, while centralizing operations on a unified platform.

Clio is the world’s leading provider of cloud-based legal technology, providing lawyers with low-barrier, affordable solutions to manage and grow their firms more effectively, more profitably and with better client experiences. Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, Clio also has hub offices in Toronto, Calgary, Dublin and Sydney.

Oaklins Cavendish, one of Oaklins’ member firms in the UK, advised the founders of ShareDo on the successful sale of the business to Clio. The team conducted an extensive process, evaluating offers from a range of international buyers and private equity investors, which resulted in a deal that delivered an outstanding outcome for ShareDo’s owners and a strategically important acquisition for Clio. Oaklins DeSilva+Phillips, based in New York, worked and collaborated with Oaklins Cavendish on this deal, showcasing Oaklins’ global reach and collaborative approach.
