PERSUIT, a platform for outside counsel selection and management, announced its acquisition of Apperio, an innovative legal spend management solution. This strategic acquisition reinforces PERSUIT’s unique ability to deliver an integrated platform that transforms how legal departments scope, price, select, and manage outside counsel — transforming legal operations into a strategic driver of business impact.
PERSUIT has always had a clear vision — to create a world where every legal dollar is an investment in value creation, not just a cost to manage. At the heart of that vision is our belief in alternative fee arrangements (AFAs) and outcome-based pricing as the foundation for modern legal departments. To fully realize this future, legal leaders need more than better firm selection — they need complete control and insight across the entire lifecycle of outside counsel management.
With the acquisition of Apperio, PERSUIT takes a bold step forward in building an end-to-end platform that powers smarter decision-making from intake to invoice approval and payment. Combined with PERSUIT’s strengths in AI-powered firm recommendations, dynamic scoping, and pricing intelligence, the addition of Apperio delivers full transparency into legal spend and real-time invoice validation — ensuring value delivered always matches value paid.
“This acquisition accelerates our ability to connect every point in the outside counsel workflow with intelligence,” said Jim Delkousis, CEO of PERSUIT. “We’re not just managing spend — we’re turning it into performance.
“We’re thrilled to join forces with PERSUIT,” said Dominic Aelberry, CEO of Apperio. “Together, we’ll give legal teams the actionable data across every step of the workflow needed to manage spend, maximize value, and lead with confidence.”
