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 was billed by the hour, and every firm answered RFPs in its own format, with different scope, detail, and pricing. Budgets were guesswork, and comparing one proposal against another was nearly impossible.
With Priori
Practice-area templates now have every firm bid against the same phases and pricing structures, and alternative fee RFPs run across nearly every practice area, cutting outside counsel costs roughly 30% on average and avoiding millions on the largest engagements.
Before
Outside counsel was often 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
Significant engagements now go through a structured RFP, with pricing tiers that encourage attorneys to include a lower-cost option every time. 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, and knowledge about which firms were approved for what lived in people's heads. Comparing firms was so slow that hiring often came down to relationships and memory rather than any real evaluation.
With Priori
A tagged, curated network of hundreds of firms makes the right counsel easy to find, and attorneys can launch their own RFPs without help from legal ops, bringing structure and data to how the department hires.
Before
Annual rate increase requests arrived in scattered formats, and evaluating them meant chasing informal feedback and piecing together fragmented data. Decisions were made without a clear view of market rates or firm performance.
With Priori
Firms submit rate requests through one structured template, matter manager feedback is collected ahead of every review, and each request is benchmarked against peer rates and same-tier firm performance, so every rate decision is grounded in data.
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.
