Case Study: Buxton & Collie LLC achieves $70K annual savings and 80%+ faster invoicing with Clio

How Buxton & Collie LLC saves $70k every year with Clio

Buxton & Collie LLC is a Mount Pleasant, SC business law firm founded in 2010 that has grown from a solo practice to 12 employees, handling business sales, corporate governance, private equity, and real estate matters. The firm needed a simple, scalable way to onboard clients, track billable time, send invoices, and manage complex transactions without adding overhead or slowing down deal flow.

By adopting Clio Manage, Clio Grow, and Clio Payments, Buxton & Collie launched immediately, implemented e-signature templates and automated intake, and eliminated the need for a dedicated intake hire. The firm cut annual expenses by $70K (including $30K saved on a server and $40K from not hiring intake staff), reduced invoicing time by over 80% (from 1–2 weeks to one day), and gained the remote, efficient workflows needed to grow and serve higher‑end clients.
