What’s really novel is that the PERSUIT platform delivers value not just for the corporates but the firms too. It just does not make sense If you are not working in this way now."

"I thought I’d seen it all until I discovered PERSUIT. Having implemented the platform across the UBS global legal team and spent decades as an executive in the financial services industry this was an opportunity too good to be missed to help lead corporates globally on an innovation journey that will transform the way they acquire legal services."
