PERSUIT’s SaaS platform connects Fortune 500 companies like UBS, HSBC, Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, Facebook, and Intel with law firms and other professional service providers. And the first technology purpose-built to optimize the outside counsel selection process, PERSUIT helped their customers more quickly connect with the right outside counsel while cutting their spend by an average of 37% for each engagement, translating into a savings upwards of tens of millions of dollars.

With their significant capital injection, capability, and expertise in scaling hyper-growth companies, we are now hitting the ‘go button’ on a number of initiatives that are all focused on continuing to delight and grow our customer and user community.”
As part of the funding round, PERSUIT is hiring across all of its functions globally – sales, marketing, finance, customers success and engineering.
