A Clio Case Study
Evolve Family Law, founded in 2020 in Saskatchewan by CEO Beau Atkins, is a growing flat-fee family law firm that expanded to a team of about a dozen staff. Starting the firm, Beau faced typical small-firm challenges: time-consuming manual document assembly and intake, inefficient billing and collections, and administrative work that pulled lawyers away from legal tasks.
By adopting Clio’s cloud practice-management tools—automated templates and custom fields, e-signatures, online payments, templated communications, task lists, and streamlined intake—Evolve dramatically reduced administrative load and sped onboarding to about 75 minutes. The firm now reports higher lawyer productivity, CEO time focused on business development, near‑perfect collections (98–99% vs. ~60% before), consistent workflows, and greater flexibility through hybrid remote work.
