Clio, the legal software company, has acquired Page, a Kitchener-Waterloo startup that uses AI to track legislation, regulation and other government activity. Clio announced the deal on October 26, 2026, at its ClioCon conference in Boston. BetaKit reported that the acquisition closed earlier in October.
Financial terms were not disclosed. All 12 of Page's employees are joining Clio, according to BetaKit.
Clio plans to add Page's technology to its Vincent product over the coming months. Customers will be able to set monitoring preferences and receive daily intelligence briefings, the company said. Page will keep serving its existing clients on its current product while the integration takes place.
What Page built
Page sells what the industry calls horizon scanning: software that reads bills, regulations, legislative hearings and other government documents so that lawyers and government relations staff can see changes coming before they take effect. According to Clio's release, the platform covers US federal legislation and all 50 states, monitors committee hearings in real time and compares how similar laws have moved through different jurisdictions.
Co-founder and chief executive Ben Cox told BetaKit that Page monitors tens of thousands of sources across more than 80 jurisdictions in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and Australia, and that it powers a quarter of the Fortune 100.
Cox said the overlap between Page's users and Clio's had grown. "Legal professionals care deeply about what governments and regulators change," he told BetaKit. In the release, he said organisations should have a clearer understanding of the government decisions that shape their future, and that joining Clio would let Page extend its intelligence to more of them.
"We want every organization to know what governments are doing the moment it matters," Cox told BetaKit.
“The future of legal AI is knowing where the law is going as clearly as we know where it stands today.”
The founders and the funding
Page was founded in 2024 by Cox and chief technology officer Elliot Dohm, who previously spent nearly a decade at Shopify, BetaKit reported.
The company raised C$5.5 million (about $4 million) in total from Twelve Below, Go Global Ventures, Canaan Partners, Ripple Ventures and Garage Capital.
"As our two industries converged, Page joining Clio felt like the obvious next step," Cox said.
Why Clio is buying
Clio has built its AI strategy around giving lawyers access to legal information, including a library it says holds more than one billion legal documents. Page adds information about laws that do not exist yet. "The future of legal AI is knowing where the law is going as clearly as we know where it stands today," chief executive and founder Jack Newton said in the release.
"The decisions that reshape industries often begin in committee rooms, years before their consequences are felt," Newton said.
Shubham Datta, Clio's vice president of corporate development, told BetaKit that buying Page was a quicker route to the capability than building it in-house.
Page is Clio's ninth acquisition, BetaKit reported. Earlier deals include the legal research company vLex, bought in late 2025, Toronto's Jurisage and New York's Learned Hand.
A crowded market for legal AI
Clio says more than 400,000 legal professionals in over 130 countries use its software. BetaKit reported that the company passed $500 million in annual recurring revenue in May 2026, six months after reaching $400 million, and opened a US headquarters in New York this year.
The company is competing with fast-growing AI legal startups. BetaKit noted that Harvey and Legora both opened offices in Toronto in 2026, and that Clio's own legal trends report found 85% of legal professionals have adopted AI, up from 79% a year earlier.
Ed Walters, Clio's vice president of legal innovation, told BetaKit that the jump in adoption shows a shift in how firms use the technology. "That means AI is now operating as infrastructure," he said. Clio has also brought its Clio Work product to Canada this year and launched a redesigned AI platform, BetaKit reported.
Buying a small, specialised team lets Clio add regulatory monitoring to its product without starting from scratch, and gives Page's software access to Clio's much larger customer base.
