On May 5, 2025, PERSUIT , a technology company that specializes in helping corporate legal departments select and manage outside counsel, announced that it had acquired Apperio , a spend-management platform for corporate legal, in a move designed to create an end-to-end workflow solution spanning everything from matter intake to invoice payment. "This acquisition accelerates our ability to connect every point in the outside counsel workflow with intelligence," Jim Delkousis , cofounder and CEO of PERSUIT, said at the time. "We're not just managing spend — we're turning it into performance." This week on LawNext, Delkousis joins host Bob Ambrogi to share his vision for PERSUIT and why he believes the Apperio acquisition brings "superpowers" that will help propel the company further forward
