Following the completion of its historic $1 billion acquisition of vLex<\/a> last month, Clio has announced the leadership positions for key former vLex executives joining the company.<\/p>\n

The appointments are:<\/p>\n

Lluis Faus<\/strong> will serve as strategic advisor and interim chief content officer. As the former CEO of vLex, which he and his brother founded in 2000, he brings decades of experience in legal research and content innovation to his new role overseeing Clio\u2019s content strategy.<\/p>\n

Ed Walters<\/strong> takes on the position of vice president, legal innovation and strategy. Walters was chief strategy officer at vLex and, before that, cofounder and CEO of Fastcase, which he founded in 1999. He will focus on driving innovation across Clio\u2019s expanded product portfolio.<\/p>\n

Angel Faus<\/strong> joins Clio\u2019s executive roster as vice president of engineering. As cofounder of vLex, he had been its chief technology officer. He will now apply his technical expertise to integrating vLex\u2019s technology with Clio\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n

Phil Rosenthal<\/strong> becomes head of bar and academic partnerships, continuing his work building relationships with bar associations and law schools, as he previously did at both vLex and Fastcase. Rosenthal was cofounder of Fastcase and its president and chairman.<\/p>\n

The acquisition, which closed in November, combined Clio\u2019s practice management platform with vLex\u2019s legal research capabilities, creating what Clio CEO Jack Newton described as an integrated solution spanning the entire legal workflow.<\/p>\n

The deal was accompanied by a $500 million Series G funding round that valued Clio at $5 billion.<\/p>\n

As I reported at the time of the acquisition\u2019s completion, the combination brings together Clio\u2019s 150,000 customers with vLex\u2019s research platform used by millions of legal professionals globally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
