Formerly known as ShareDo, Clio Operate is Clio's platform for large law firms navigating complex, multi-practice work and seeking greater speed, control, and room to grow.

LONDON, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today announced Clio Operate, marking a major step in its expansion into the large law firm market. Previously known as ShareDo and acquired by Clio in March 2025, Clio Operate represents the next phase of that platform's development, bringing its established complex workflow capabilities under the Clio banner.

Designed for large and mid-sized law firms operating across jurisdictions, practice areas, and increasingly sophisticated service models, Clio Operate connects the tools firms already rely on into one secure, centralized platform.Clio, the global leader in legal AI, today announced the rebranding of ShareDo to Clio Operate. The new identity was unveiled at the British Legal Tech Forum, marking a significant step in Clio's continued expansion into the large law segment.

The Evolution from ShareDo to Clio Operate

In the UK, EMEA, and APAC, ShareDo has built a strong reputation in complex case management. As Clio Operate, the platform enters its next chapter with expanded global backing and a sharper focus: providing large firms with a scalable operational foundation designed for growth, adaptability, and control.

The launch marks an important step in Clio's continued investment in Clio for Enterprise, a dedicated business unit focused on building  products, infrastructure, and expertise for firms with hundreds or thousands of users.

"Large law firms are redefining how they operate, scale, and deliver value," said Jack Newton, CEO and Founder of Clio. "Clio Operate is purpose-built to support that ambition. It provides the intelligent connective layer firms need to unify their systems, unlock institutional capacity, and launch new service models with confidence. This is about giving leadership teams the control and agility required to compete and grow in today's market."

A Proven Platform for Complex Legal Operations

Clio Operate integrates with the technology firms already rely on, aligning practice management, document management, and client systems into a cohesive operating environment. Rather than replacing what works, it enhances coordination across the firm, allowing leadership to design processes deliberately, automate repeatable work, and maintain visibility across matters and teams.

The operational impact is significant. Firms using Clio Operate have reduced case lifecycles by up to 40 percent, accelerated matter creation by 80 percent, and increased fee-earner capacity by 30 percent. These outcomes enable firms to expand throughput, improve responsiveness, and unlock institutional capacity without proportional increases in headcount.

Enabling Strategic Growth for Large Law Firms

Beyond operational efficiency, Clio Operate supports strategic growth. Its No-Code capabilities allow firms to structure and launch new service lines efficiently, while its inheritance-based architecture ensures operational consistency as firms expand across jurisdictions, practice areas, or thousands of matter types.

Governance is embedded at the core of the platform. With security barriers and ethical walls that protect sensitive data at the firm, team, and matter level, Clio Operate provides the controls required to adopt advanced technologies, including AI, within clearly defined risk parameters.

Ben Nicholson, General Manager, Enterprise UK at Clio , continues to lead the platform's evolution.

"We are exceptionally proud of the foundation we built with ShareDo," said Nicholson. "As Clio Operate, we now have the scale and resources to accelerate innovation while preserving the configurability and control our customers rely on. Our focus remains on helping large firms operate with clarity and confidence as they grow."

Clio Operate is now available to large and mid-sized law firms across North America, the UK, EMEA, and APAC. Attendees can experience the platform at the British Legal Tech Forum in London, on March 10, 2026.

Die weitreichende Sonntagsöffnung in vielen Urlaubsorten Mecklenburg-Vorpommerns steht vor einem grundlegenden Neustart. Das Oberverwaltungsgericht (OVG) Greifswald hat die seit 2025 geltende Bäderregelung für unwirksam erklärt. Die Richter kamen zu dem Schluss, dass die Landesverordnung den verfassungsrechtlich geschützten Sonntagsschutz überdehnt, weil sie zu vielen Geschäften an zu vielen Sonntagen die Öffnung erlaubt. Damit folgte das Gericht der Klage der Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft Verdi, die eine Aushöhlung des arbeitsfreien Sonntags moniert hatte.

Die gekippte Regelung sollte Händlern in den touristischen Orten des Nordostens ähnliche Wettbewerbsbedingungen sichern wie im benachbarten Schleswig-Holstein, mit dem Mecklenburg-Vorpommern um Feriengäste konkurriert. Sie ermöglichte Ladenöffnungen in 84 als touristisch definierten Orten an einem großen Teil der Sonn- und Feiertage im Jahr. Aus Sicht des Gerichts ging der Ausnahmetatbestand damit zu weit: Wenn Geschäfte an zwei von drei Sonntagen sowie zusätzlich an mehreren Feiertagen öffnen dürfen, liege faktisch keine begrenzte Ausnahme mehr vor, sondern eine weitgehende Aufweichung des grundsätzlichen Verkaufsverbots.

Gewerkschaften begrüßten den Richterspruch als Stärkung des Arbeitnehmerschutzes. Verdi hatte argumentiert, dass Beschäftigten im Handel bei einer so weitgehenden Sonntagsöffnung zu wenig Zeit für Familienleben und Erholung bleibe. Auch der Deutsche Gewerkschaftsbund Nord kritisierte die bisherige Bäderregelung als Motor für zusätzliche Sonntagsarbeit und als Instrument, das bewährte Schutzmechanismen unterlaufe und soziale Ungleichheiten verschärfe. Kirchen spielten in der öffentlichen Debatte im stark säkular geprägten Bundesland eine deutlich geringere Rolle.

Unternehmerverbände und Vertreter der Tourismuswirtschaft hingegen warnen vor Verunsicherung. Gerade in klassischen Feriendestinationen, in denen der Einzelhandel stark auf saisonale Gästeumsätze angewiesen ist, galt die Sonntagsöffnung als wichtiger Baustein des Geschäftsmodells. Für die betroffenen Orte ändert sich kurzfristig dennoch wenig: Bis zur Rechtskraft des Urteils dürfen die Geschäfte vorerst weiter nach den bisherigen Vorgaben öffnen. Die Landesregierung in Schwerin will die schriftliche Urteilsbegründung abwarten und prüft nach eigenen Angaben eine Beschwerde beim Bundesverwaltungsgericht – und damit die Chance, die Reichweite künftiger Ausnahmen vom Sonntagsschutz neu auszuloten.
