Along with childhood friend and past Fastcase 50 honoree Jack Newton, Rian Gauvreau founded the practice management software company Clio. Since then, Clio’s cloud-based practice management suite has become an undisputed giant of the industry. Clio’s success has inspired legal entrepreneurs across the world to create modern solutions, including many other past Fastcase 50 winners. As COO, Rian has been instrumental in leading the company and industry to global scale, and his credit-sharing disposition is just one more way that Rian breaks the legal tech mold. Clio has been named the Canadian Startup Awards’ Employer of the Year and one of Canada’s 10 Most Admired Corporate Cultures of 2016 by Waterstone Human Capital, in part because of Rian’s example.
