Clio, which has grown to be a leader in the cloud-based practice management space, is now taking a cue from other legal technology companies eager to undertake the next phase of growth: diving into mergers and acquisitions.

On October 4, during the company’s Clio Cloud Conference, Clio announced the acquisition of Lexicata, a software company specializing in legal client intake and client relationship management (CRM). The acquisition will allow Clio to expand its product offering into what it calls “an end-to-end solution that streamlines the client journey for law firms.”
