Use Cases
How legal teams put Priori to work
Anonymized stories from in-house legal departments using Priori to source, benchmark, and manage outside counsel.
Before
Nearly all work billed by the hour, with no way to push firms toward fixed or alternative pricing. Budgets were guesswork, and there was no structured method to compare one proposal against another.
With Priori
Alternative fee RFPs now run across nearly every practice area, cutting outside counsel costs more than 40% on average and avoiding millions on the largest engagements.
Before
Outside counsel was hired without competitive review. Firms were rarely asked to compete on price or staffing, and there was no way to know whether the department was overpaying.
With Priori
Every significant engagement now goes through a structured RFP. The program returned more than $1M in cost avoidance in its first six weeks, roughly 30% savings, before formal training had even finished.
Before
RFPs lived in email threads and spreadsheets. Comparing firms was so slow that most hiring came down to relationships and memory rather than any real evaluation.
With Priori
Attorneys now launch their own RFPs without help from legal ops, making this one of the most active RFP departments on the platform and turning sourcing into a data-driven habit.
Before
Every firm answered in its own format, with different scope, detail, and pricing. Comparing bids was nearly impossible, and true cost was almost always a surprise.
With Priori
Practice-area templates force every firm to bid against the same phases and pricing, turning a pile of mismatched proposals into a clean, apples-to-apples decision.
Before
A carefully negotiated panel sat unused. Attorneys defaulted to familiar firms, so the volume discounts the department had fought for were quietly left on the table.
With Priori
Panel firms and their discount tiers now surface at the moment of hire, with eBilling spend tracked against every threshold, so negotiated pricing actually gets used.
