PERSUIT Unveils Industry’s Most Comprehensive Lawyer-Level Data in Strategic Partnership with Firm Prospects

PERSUIT, the leading Outside Counsel Selection and Management platform, has announced a major expansion of its data capabilities through an exclusive partnership with Firm Prospects. The integration brings detailed professional data on more than 500,000 lawyers worldwide directly into the PERSUIT platform, giving in-house legal teams unprecedented insight into the lawyers behind the firms they engage and the ability to surface undiscovered lawyer talent.

This upgrade transforms how corporate legal departments source, evaluate, and manage outside counsel, down to the individual lawyer level. Legal teams can now search and filter lawyers by detailed attributes such as practice area (including deal and litigation experience), prior work history (including in-house, government, and BigLaw experience), bar admissions, law school, Chambers rankings, and more. Crucially, users can validate experience based on actual matters, not just marketing collateral, and track lawyer movement over time.

“Until now, in-house teams have had to rely on firm reputation and word-of-mouth to make critical outside counsel decisions,” said Jim Delkousis, CEO and Founder of PERSUIT. “With this data, our clients can identify and compare the actual experience of individual lawyers, bringing precision and accountability to the selection process in a way the legal industry has never seen.”

The new data layer empowers legal teams to:

  • Instantly surface lawyers with highly specialized experience.
  • Validate firm and lawyer capabilities through verified deal and litigation histories.
  • Compare firm strength by office, industry focus, or geographic region.
  • Shape and assess panel performance using hiring and attrition trends.
  • Discover rising talent at boutique firms and track top performers across firms.

Combined with PERSUIT’s best-in-class RFP functionality and ability to track panel performance, along with real-time work in progress tracking and spend history enabled by its recent acquisition of Apperio, this lawyer-level data makes it easier than ever for legal teams to drive value, reduce risk, and make faster, smarter decisions.

The data is now live on the PERSUIT platform.
