Elite, the leading enterprise SaaS platform purpose-built for the legal industry, today announced that global law firm Clyde & Co has completed its migration to the cloud, marking yet another milestone in the adoption of SaaS enterprise solutions among the world’s largest and most complex law firms.
Founded in 1933, Clyde & Co is a leading, globally integrated law firm, specializing in key sectors that underpin global trade and commercial activity, such as insurance, transport, infrastructure, energy, and commodities. The firm has more than 3,200 legal professionals—including 500 partners and more than 2,700 lawyers—working across 70+ offices on six continents.
Clyde & Co’s adoption of the SaaS-version of Elite’s 3E has been a key part of a wider technology-driven transformation of how the entire firm operates and positions the firm as an industry leader in the business of law.
“We have relied on 3E for many years as the core foundation of how we operate, and moving to a SaaS solution as part of our tech evolution was a natural next step for us,” said Jeremy Morris, Head of IT Strategy, Architecture and Design at Clyde & Co.
By moving to a SaaS-based financial and practice management solution, Clyde & Co has ensured it has the most robust, agile, and secure technology foundation to meet the firm’s evolving needs, both now and for the future. 3E will provide the firm with automatic updates and quick access to new functionality, automated workflows, online billing, real-time insights, and advanced analytics, powered by the Microsoft® Azure® platform and providing seamless connectivity with the Microsoft Power Platform®.
“Clyde & Co is leading the way in adopting a forward-thinking business and technology strategy. By moving from on-prem to our SaaS platform, they can unlock greater data visibility to speed decision making, ease compliance processes, and realize faster billing cycles,” said Mark Dorman, CEO of Elite. “Across the legal sector, we’re seeing a decisive shift from legacy systems to cloud-native platforms, including among some of the world’s largest and most complex law firms. We are proud to be a driving force for that change in the industry.”
In an industry where billing cycles are notoriously long due to manual processes, complex client guidelines, and fragmented legacy technology, SaaS solutions like Elite’s cloud platform are transforming financial operations by accelerating invoicing, improving compliance, and unlocking faster, more predictable revenue.
Elite recently announced a 75% increase in SaaS subscriptions already in 2025, and its wider portfolio of solutions is utilized by nearly 2,000 law firms worldwide, including 75% of the Am Law 100 and 72% of the Global 100.
