The platform where real legal work gets done.
One workspace for fee-earners and teams: capture speech, draft with confidence, and keep every AI change under your control.
The busywork
gap.
Legal teams still re-type from audio, fight formatting, and second-guess AI drafts, before work ever reaches the file.
Re-typing from recordings and scattered notes.
Templates sit unused while formatting eats the hour.
AI drafts overwrite quietly, hard to trust what landed.
How work moves through Ardela.

What is Ardela?
Ardela is an AI productivity platform for legal teams: Voice for dictation and transcription, Clara for drafting and review with approval on every AI change, and Pillars for structured document knowledge with citations.
Where is client data hosted?
Client recordings and documents stay in the UK by default, so England & Wales firms know where matter data lives.
How does Ardela handle security and permissions?
Workspaces use granular permissions and role-based access so the right people see the right work. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Clara’s approval cards mean AI edits are proposals until someone accepts them. Enterprise adds SAML SSO and fuller audit controls.
Does Ardela integrate with Clio?
Yes. On Pro and above you can sync clients and matters from Clio. Capture remains available on web, desktop, and mobile, and drafts export to PDF and DOCX on your letterhead.
What is approval-gated AI?
Clara proposes rewrites, summaries, and redlines on an approval card. Nothing lands in the file until a person accepts the change, so fee-earners keep judgment over AI output.
Who is Ardela built for?
England & Wales law firms and legal teams that handle sensitive client work: fee-earners, PAs, and firm admins in one workspace.
Dictate. Transcribe. Draft.
