DENVER, COLORADO—Oct. 10, 2022 — Proof, an innovative service of process platform powering the delivery of legal documents, today announced its integration with Clio—the world’s leading cloud-based legal technology. The integration is one of the first embedded apps in Clio, where customers can conveniently utilize Proof legal document delivery directly from Clio’s legal practice management software, Clio Manage.
Proof’s service of process platform directly connects law firms to a national network of independent professional process servers for the delivery of legal documents. Proof serves documents across all 50 states in the US, including territories. Thousands of law firms use Proof each month for efficient and transparent legal document delivery.
With this integration, the 150,000 legal professionals that use Clio can seamlessly tap into a nationwide network of servers on Proof. Serve requests can be created in seconds to serve summons and subpoenas locally or nationwide. Legal professionals receive verified updates as they occur, and chat directly with their server for updates and transparency at every step. Once delivered, proof of service, invoices, and expenses are automatically stored in Clio.
“Clio provides an unmatched app ecosystem in legal technology with over 200 integrations, and we’re excited to be part of the next iteration of technology partners embedded directly into Clio Manage ,” said Proof Founder and CEO Eric Voogt. “Maximizing a law firm’s efficiency is key. Bringing Proof directly into Clio’s legal practice management software ensures seamless access to document delivery conveniently where lawyers are managing their matters.”
Together, Proof and Clio can have an immediate impact on a firm's bottom line. According to Proof’s Cost Savings Calculator, firms can save an average of 1,800 hours in busywork, $81,000 in cost savings per year, and as much as $405,000 in annual reallocated billable revenue.
“As a law firm partner, I was frustrated with the hours lawyers and paralegals spent finding a process server,” continued Voogt. “Every step of the service delivery process was slow and manual, from providing the server with the subpoena or summons, to wondering when attempts were being made, and requesting updates. Once served, there was little information available to ensure that the job was done pursuant to the rules. Proof changes the entire system, and with Clio, we have an even greater capacity to expand how documents are delivered.”
“Document delivery is a vital part of many legal matters, and too important to be mishandled. Proof has done an incredible job utilizing trackable technology and delivery innovation to improve this legal workflow,” said Jonathan Watson, Chief Technology Officer at Clio. “The convenience of Proof’s platform first excited us as an investor. Bringing that efficiency and transparency directly into Clio was a natural next step. Clio customers can now access simple, and efficient document delivery while running their firms on Clio.”
