Acquired — still operating
acquired by Clio 2025 ($1B)
About
vLex is a legal intelligence platform covering 100+ countries with over a billion cases, statutes, and regulations, now powered by the Vincent AI research assistant. Vincent answers natural-language questions with citation-backed answers, drafts first-cut research memos, builds arguments, and can surface persuasive authorities from other jurisdictions.
Clio acquired vLex for $1 billion in 2025, folding Vincent into its practice platform used by 200,000+ legal professionals. It is strongest for cross-border and multilingual research; US-only practitioners may find domestic incumbents comparable.
