PERSUIT

PERSUIT is a legal operations platform built to help corporate legal departments select, engage, and manage outside counsel across the full lifecycle of a legal matter.

Key features and functions include:

Competitive RFP and Bidding Workflows
Structured templates support matter-level RFPs, panel selections, and alternative fee arrangements, allowing legal teams to scope work and solicit competitive proposals from law firms.

Value-Based Pricing and AFA Structuring
Tools support a shift from hourly billing toward outcomes-based and value-based pricing models, helping teams structure alternative fee arrangements before work begins.

AI-Powered Proposal Analysis
An integrated generative AI tool (Persi/Proposal Analyzer) summarizes and compares law firm proposal responses, highlighting differences to speed up evaluation and selection.

Matter Intake and Routing
Structured intake workflows support risk triage and routing of legal matters from the point of request.

Rate Review and Benchmarking
Centralized tools allow legal teams to compare, benchmark, and negotiate annual law firm rates and assess spend impact.

Panel Management
Functionality to track law firm performance, enforce panel governance, and manage panel composition over time.

E-Billing and Legal Spend Management
Following PERSUIT's acquisition of Apperio, the platform provides real-time legal spend visibility, budget tracking, and invoice validation alongside its e-billing functionality.

Reporting and Integration APIs
An RFP API and a Reporting API allow proposal, pricing, and spend data to be pulled into or pushed to external e-billing, matter management, and business intelligence systems.
