Clio customer story

The brief

Clio was not looking for a slow trial of a junior contractor. They needed a senior lawyer who could handle real files from day one, integrate with a fast-moving product and commercial environment, and (ideally) be open to a full-time conversion if the fit was right.

Training investment matters at Clio’s scale. Restarting with a new candidate every few months was exactly what they wanted to avoid.

Fractional first, then full-time

Goodlawyer matched Clio with a fractional hire who ramped quickly, built relationships across the team, and delivered as an independent senior contributor from the outset.

Performance on the mandate became the interview. When Clio was ready to convert, the handoff was straightforward: the lawyer already knew the people, the product cadence, and the work.

We needed an exceptional lawyer, and Goodlawyer delivered. Our fractional hire integrated seamlessly from the outset, delivering results that ultimately led us to bring them on full-time. We look forward to working with Goodlawyer again.

The outcome

Clio gained both immediate capacity and a durable hire. The fractional-to-full-time path gave the team a low-risk way to evaluate fit while work kept moving, and a reason to come back to Goodlawyer for the next mandate.
