Proof

Hundreds of legal teams chose PERSUIT.
Here's what happened.

The leaders on this page didn't just buy software. They joined a movement — a decade-long push to transform how legal services are priced, managed, and measured. Platform data across $22B+ in real proposals, and the words of the GCs, Legal Ops leaders, and CLOs who use PERSUIT every day. No marketing copy. No hypotheticals.

The Result
3-year savings target.
Achieved in 9 months.

SAP — the company that builds Ariba, one of the world's most widely deployed procurement platforms — chose PERSUIT for their own legal spend management. Because procurement tools built for purchasing aren't built for legal. Matters aren't purchase orders. Firms aren't vendors. PERSUIT is the platform that understands the difference.

What changed at SAP wasn't just the savings — it was the clarity. For the first time, every firm selection had a documented rationale, every fee arrangement was competitive, and every invoice arrived expected.

Platform Data

The numbers behind every claim.

Platform data from $22B+ in legal proposals, updated continuously. Not projections. Not benchmarks from other industries. This is what happens when enterprise legal teams run their outside counsel management through PERSUIT.

26%
Average savings per matter
Across all matters run through a competitive process on PERSUIT. First engagement average. The more matters you run competitively, the greater the compounding effect on your overall spend.
30%
Average savings with competitive sourcing
When matters are sourced through a structured competitive process, average savings reach 30%. The competitive dynamic captures value that relationship-based negotiation consistently leaves on the table.
48%
Of the time the lowest bid wins
The lowest bid wins less than half the time. Team quality, approach, and track record dominate. PERSUIT rewards merit — not just price.
79%
Of value awarded is under an AFA
The shift away from open-ended hourly billing is already happening. 79% of value awarded through PERSUIT is under a fixed, phased, or alternative fee arrangement.
4,800+
Law firms active on platform
Including 100% of the AmLaw 100 and Global 200. 40,000+ Requests published to date. The network effects of this scale are unreplicable.

All data sourced from PERSUIT platform transactions as of February 2026. Savings figures represent averages across customer base. Individual results vary by matter type, industry, and competitive process design. The $22B+ data layer is proprietary and unreplicable — it is the benchmark behind every rate negotiation on platform.

Customers

Trusted by the world's most demanding legal teams.

From global banks to leading enterprises across every industry. Every customer has significant outside counsel spend and complex legal operations.

The Hard Questions

The three things skeptics always say. What the data says back.

"This will damage our firm relationships."
The firms that perform best on PERSUIT are the ones with the strongest client relationships. Transparency confirms what both sides already believed. 4,800+ firms are active on PERSUIT — including 100% of the AmLaw 100. The firms that resist structured process are usually the ones clients should be scrutinising more closely.
"We'll just end up picking the cheapest firm."
The data says the opposite. The lowest bid wins just 48% of the time. Quality of team, approach, and track record dominate selection decisions. PERSUIT adds benchmark data to know whether what you're paying is defensible — not a mandate to choose cheapest.
"Our matters are too complex for a platform."
SAP said this. IBM said this. So did every other customer before signing. Every matter type — multi-jurisdictional disputes, regulatory investigations, M&A, complex litigation — has been run through PERSUIT. That's how we reached $22B+. Complexity isn't an exception. It's the use case the platform was built for.
