Closing a deal? Don't overpay for M&A counsel.

You're about to spend $1–3M on outside counsel for this deal. Persi tells you if the quote is fair — before you sign the engagement letter. The same pricing intelligence Fortune 500 in-house legal teams use, without needing a procurement department. On fixed fees. Not by the hour.

The M&A asymmetry

M&A counsel quotes vary by 40%. You won't know which way without a benchmark.

You're picking M&A counsel with two quotes, both from firms you've worked with on something else, neither benchmarked against the actual market for a deal of this size.

Your CFO will absolutely ask, post-close, why the legal fees came in where they did. You'll have a number. You won't have a defense for it.

Your firms have a pricing committee, an M&A practice scorecard, and clean data on every deal they've billed for the last decade. You don't.

That's the gap Persi closes. Before you sign.

What Persi does

The work Persi does for you.

The questions every solo GC asks every week. Now you ask Persi.

01
"Is this a fair price?"
Persi benchmarks any quote against $22B in real proposal data, broken down by matter type, jurisdiction, and firm tier. Get a price range in 60 seconds.
02
"Find me the right lawyer."
Persi matches your matter to firms from PERSUIT's network of 4,800+ firms, ranked by experience, fit, and cost for your specific matter.
03
"Run a competitive process."
Persi drafts the RFP, invites the firms, manages responses, and gets you fixed-fee proposals you can actually compare. No more messy email threads.
04
"Analyze this proposal."
Persi scores any firm proposal against your benchmarks and against peer responses. Flags gaps. Surfaces red flags. Shows where to push back.
05
"Review my invoice."
Persi audits invoices against agreed scope, your billing guidelines, and matter benchmarks. Flags overcharges, scope creep, and block billing before you approve.
06
"What should I ask them?"
Persi preps the questions worth asking before you engage a firm. The red flags. The scope diligence. The questions a peer GC who's been here before would tell you to ask.
07
"Build my shortlist."
Persi tracks the firms you've worked with, what they're good at, and what they cost. Builds a working panel over time so your next engagement starts with data you didn't have on the last one.
Fixed fees, not surprises

80% of the work on PERSUIT is fixed fee. That's not a coincidence.

26%
Average savings on matters run through PERSUIT. On PE add-on M&A deals specifically, we routinely see GCs $400K+ off market on a single deal — usually with two quotes and no benchmark to weigh them against.

Most outside counsel work is billed by the hour. Which means you approve an estimate and then watch it become a guess. Scope creeps. Hours pile up. Your budget blows out. Your CFO asks what happened. You don't have a clean answer.

PERSUIT changed that. Nearly 80% of the work flowing through the platform is priced as a fixed fee. Persi helps you get fixed-fee proposals from firms who compete on price, scope, and value.

You sign a number. You get the work. Your budget stops being a guess.

Why start with a benchmark

Start with the question you ask most often.

Pricing is the question every solo GC asks every week. Is this fair? Is this market? Is my firm overcharging me on this matter, or are they actually being reasonable for once?

Drop in a matter you're working on right now. Persi pulls from $22B in real legal proposal data and gives you a price range in 60 seconds. If the answer is useful, the rest of Persi will be too. That's the whole pitch.

What's behind the agent

Built on the playbook the best legal teams in the world have written.

Persi isn't an AI wrapper around a Google search. It's the same intelligence that runs underneath PERSUIT's enterprise platform — used by hundreds of in-house legal and legal ops teams managing $22B in proposals across 51,000+ matters.

When Persi benchmarks a price, it's pulling from real matters at real companies. When Persi runs an RFP, it's running on the same engine 4,800+ firms compete on. When Persi audits an invoice, it's checking against the billing guidelines and rate cards the world's most sophisticated legal ops teams have refined over years.

Persi OnDemand takes that playbook and makes it accessible to legal leaders who don't yet have a procurement function of their own.

FAQ

Things you're about to ask us.

Yes. Matter details stay in your account. Aggregate, anonymized data feeds the benchmarks — your specific deal, counterparty, and counsel choices are never shared. The benchmark comparison runs against PERSUIT's historical M&A dataset, not your current matter against anyone else's current matter.
Most of them already do. 100% of the AmLaw 200 and Global 200 are on PERSUIT, and nearly 80% of the work flowing through the platform is fixed fee. Firms compete to win matters here, and they know fixed fee is how the platform works. You don't have to convince anyone.
On day 31, we charge the card you added at signup. $800 if you're on monthly, $8,000 if you picked annual. Cancel any time before day 31 and you pay nothing. We send a reminder email a few days before your trial ends so the renewal is never a surprise.
Because the people who get the most out of a trial are the ones who treat it like a real product, not a sandbox. Card required keeps the trial population serious and means there's no friction on day 31 if Persi is paying for itself. If it isn't, you cancel and pay nothing.
PERSUIT enterprise is a managed platform for legal teams running structured legal procurement at scale, with implementation, training, and a dedicated CSM. Persi OnDemand is the same engine in self-serve form. Same data. Same firm network. Same intelligence. No procurement cycle, no implementation, no CSM. You get going in minutes. If your team grows into needing the full platform, the upgrade path is there.
Both work. PERSUIT has 4,800+ firms already on the network you can run RFPs to immediately. You can also invite your existing firms to participate. Most customers do a mix.
Yes. RFPs, scope clarifications, invoice queries — Persi handles the back-and-forth and surfaces only what needs your attention. You stay in control. The firms see a professional process, not an AI bot.
Yes. Your matter details, invoices, and firm interactions stay in your account. Aggregate, anonymized data feeds the benchmarks. Specific information about your matters is never shared with other customers, with law firms outside an active engagement, or used to train external AI models.
Depends on the matter type. Common matters (M&A diligence, employment work, IP, corporate, standard litigation) have deep data and tight ranges. Niche matters have wider ranges, and Persi tells you that up front. We don't fake confidence we don't have.
Persi OnDemand is built for in-house legal leaders at growth-stage companies, typically $50M to $500M in revenue. The dataset covers most industries.
No. We don't run a heavy outbound motion on OnDemand customers. You'll get the benchmarks you ask for, your trial experience, and product updates. If you want to talk to someone about the broader PERSUIT platform, there's a button. If you don't, you won't hear from us.
The $800/month and $8,000/year price is per user. If you have a small in-house team, contact us and we'll set up the right number of seats.
Cancel any time before day 31 and your card is never charged. Cancel after that and you stop paying at the end of your current billing period. There's a button in your account settings — no email-the-CSM-and-wait nonsense.
