About

Apperio gives in-house legal teams a live view of work in progress and spend across their law-firm panel. Its analytics help general counsel manage budgets, forecast accurately, and hold firms accountable — and since its acquisition by PERSUIT it plugs into AI-powered matter scoping and firm-selection workflows. Third-party directories list plans starting around $12,000 per year plus per-dollar-of-spend and per-matter fees, so it is firmly an enterprise purchase rather than a self-serve tool.

What it can do

  • Real-time spend visibility
  • Work-in-progress tracking
  • Budget forecasting
  • Firm performance analytics
  • Invoice validation
  • AI-powered matter scoping (via PERSUIT)

Setup

  1. Contact Apperio (via PERSUIT) for a demo and quote.
  2. Connect law firms and set up matter tracking.
  3. Feed invoices and WIP data into the platform.
  4. Use dashboards to manage budgets and firm performance.
