PERSUIT
About the Firm
PERSUIT is the operating system governing how enterprises engage and pay law firms for external legal work. The platform connects corporate legal teams and providers in a structured environment where matters are earned by the right firms, priced transparently, delivered against value, and paid through integrated eBilling and spend management. By bringing sourcing, pricing, matter management, and billing into one system, PERSUIT enables legal leaders to run external legal spend like a business. The result is a more disciplined legal market where providers earn work based on value, pricing is transparent, and legal leaders have full visibility and control over external legal spend.

Testimonials
“When you sit at the top table, you are expected to have a view on so many different things. It’s impossible to address that complexity without partnering with external partners who see things from very different perspectives.”

“Given the ambitious, strategic plans of the company, it was critical to make sure that our lawyers were focusing on the highest priorities of the company, and that we found a way to enable smarter and faster decision making.”
