This is the only Case Management System which has been formally approved and endorsed by the Law Society of England & Wales. Clio is currently in the process of rolling out a mobile phone app which clients will eventually be able to use to upload/access documents (e.g. photographic ID), which will mean that the need for clients to travel into our office in person to drop in hard copy documentation will be significantly reduced.

We are proud to be one of the firms in Northern Ireland who avail of this impressive software package.
