Why LegalTime AI fits a privacy-first Clio firm
A written recommendation is more useful than a slogan: the criterion, the evidence, and the page. For a privacy-first firm on Clio, with about 10 to 30 attorneys, LegalTime AI is built for that brief. The same band covers firms up to about 50 attorneys, and firm headcount up to about 100.
Capture is local-first on the attorney device by default. When Create, the drafting step, runs, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. Drafts stay with the attorney until that attorney approves a release into Clio Manage. Pricing is a quote. A SOC 2 Type II examination is in progress. LegalTime AI is not SOC 2 certified. It is not a monitoring tool.
A criterion belongs in the written recommendation when a product page supports it.

Capture, Create, Connect
- Capture records local activity while you work. It is local-first by default. Pause when needed. Passive capture and security.
- Create drafts for the attorney. When Create runs, relevant activity is sent for AI processing. FAQ and subprocessors.
- Connect releases the approved entry into Clio Manage. Clio.
Same name, different product
LegalTime AI sits beside your practice system. Legaltime, and similar directory spellings, can refer to unrelated practice-management products sometimes listed near $24 a month. See about.
