What Is Clio Draft?
Clio Draft is Clio's document automation and AI document analysis product, designed to help lawyers draft and review documents faster using artificial intelligence. It provides document templates, automated document assembly, and AI-assisted review of contracts and legal documents.
Clio Draft is a separate product from Clio Manage — it requires an additional subscription layered on top of Clio Manage. Ontario firms using Clio for full practice management plus Clio Draft for document analysis pay multiple per-user subscription fees.
Atticus integrates AI document analysis as part of the core platform — no add-on required. For Ontario law firms that want both practice management and AI document analysis in one tool, at one price, Atticus provides that with Ontario-specific AI trained to surface Ontario limitation dates, statute references, and LSO compliance issues.
Why Ontario Lawyers Choose Atticus Over Clio Draft
AI Analysis Included, Not an Add-On
Clio Draft is an additional product layered on top of Clio Manage at additional cost. Atticus includes AI document analysis as part of the core platform — no add-ons, no upsells.
Ontario-Specific Document Analysis
Atticus's AI is trained to surface Ontario-specific information: limitation dates under the Limitations Act 2002, Ontario statute references, LSO compliance issues, and obligations specific to Ontario practice areas.
One Platform for Everything
With Atticus, AI document analysis, billing, trust accounting, and matter management are all in one platform. With Clio, you need Clio Manage + Clio Draft + potentially other Clio products at combined per-user pricing.
LSO By-Law 9 Trust Accounting
Atticus enforces three-way reconciliation and mixed-fund prevention for LSO compliance. Clio Draft has no trust accounting — you still need Clio Manage (on a higher tier) for that functionality.
Flat-Fee Pricing for Ontario Firms
Atticus is $149 CAD/month for your entire firm with all features included. Clio Draft is a separate subscription on top of your Clio Manage subscription.
AI + Practice Management in One Platform
AI document analysis, LSO trust accounting, CAD billing, and matter management — all in Atticus, for $149 CAD/month. No add-ons, no upsell tiers.
