OUTSIDE COUNSEL SPEND, FINALLY UNDER YOUR CONTROL.

For ten pioneering years, PERSUIT has led the legal industry's transition from hourly rates to value-based pricing — in the unwavering belief that clients value outcomes, not hours. In collaboration with the world's most forward-thinking legal leaders, we've built the operating system for a new era of controlling external legal spend. AI will only accelerate what we started.

The Platform

From Intake to invoice. One connected platform.

PERSUIT created the legal RFP category. Now we've built the full operating system around it. Five capabilities. One data layer. Persi AI running through every step.

  1. Matter Intake & Routing
    Structured intake, risk triage, intelligent routing. Every matter governed from day one.

  2. Sourcing & RFPs
    Run competitive RFPs backed by $22B+ in market data. Award work on merit, not relationships.

  3. Pricing & AFAs
    Lock terms before work starts. Phased budgets, scoped AFAs, benchmark rates.

  4. e-billing & Connected Outcomes
    The only e-billing solution built for AFAs and value-based pricing. Rates from sourcing flow into billing rules automatically.

  5. Panel Management
    Evolve your panel with data. Track performance, enforce governance, refresh strategically.

Different roles. Different problems. One platform.

Where you start depends on what's keeping you up at night. Choose the view that's most relevant to you.

    Rate strategy, CFO-ready reporting, and the data to defend every firm selection at board level.
